Stop us if you’ve heard this before: the 2018-19 Boston Bruins need a significant upgrade in the middle of their lineup.
Boston GM Don Sweeney hopes to help that cause with the trade deadline a mere two weeks from Monday. Until then, head coach Bruce Cassidy is doing what he can to create a more balanced lineup as the Bruins host the Los Angeles Kings and Colorado Avalanche this weekend at TD Garden.
Cassidy’s latest changes came in the second period of Boston’s 4-3 shootout loss to the New York Rangers Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden.
