The Bruins’ forward corps has been put in a blender so far this season.
Be it Jim Montgomery’s propensity for reshuffling his lines or Boston’s inability to generate offensive traction, the Bruins have found little chemistry in their personnel up front this fall.
Through 28 games, the Bruins have already featured a whopping 22 different forward lines that have logged at least 10 minutes of ice time this season. Of those 22, only one trio has recorded over 125 minutes together — a fourth-line grouping of Mark Kastelic, Johnny Beecher, and Cole Koepke.
Since taking the helm of the Bruins last month, Joe Sacco has usually opted to let Boston’s lines marinate a bit more in hopes of building some rapport among an underachieving crop of skaters.
