Bruins Unveil Overhauled Lines Prior to Game Three in Florida
Despite the series being tied at 1-1, the Bruins have not entirely lived up to their history-making season. In response, head coach Jim Montgomery unveiled a restructured lineup during Thursday morning's practice.
Following a lacklustre performance on Wednesday night, which saw the Panthers secure a 6-3 victory in game two, Montgomery shared his thoughts during the postgame press conference:
True to his word, the Bruins' head coach has made some notable adjustments. Various sources confirm that the team's lineup will feature changes across the board � from forwards to defense and potentially even in net.

Patrice Bergeron's absence from the trip to Florida has been officially confirmed, but head coach Jim Montgomery shared some positive news, stating that the Bruins captain is likely to return for game five.
