At this point, the Bruins injury woes are getting old. Heading into the season, the Bruins forward depth was spare. Management left room for their young forwards to take spots in the lineup, but that plan never panned out. So when Patrice Bergeron and Jake DeBrusk are absent from the lineup, it’s not a pleasant sight to see.
Bruce Cassidy experimented with a Marchand-Krejci-Pastrnak first line on Thursday during a 3-2 loss to Tampa. The trio spent a little over six minutes in that affair as the Bruins tried to claw back into the game.
