The Boston Bruins made some lineup adjustments ahead of their winner take all Game 7.
Jeremy Swayman earned his first start of the postseason. Matt Grzelcyk replaced Connor Clifton in a third-pairing role with Derek Forbort. Trent Frederic took Nick Foligno’s spot on the fourth line. Tyler Bertuzzi swapped roles with Jake DeBrusk, with the former drawing an assignment with Brad Marchand and Patrice Bergeron and the latter moving to a third-line assignment with Taylor Hall and Charlie Coyle.
Yet, the Bruins did the worst thing possible in a Game 7: hesitate.
