Montgomery decided to alter the lineup which was a strange decision since the team had been playing so well the past couple of games.
The Bruins head coach decided to play Matt Grzelcyk instead of Kevin Shattenkirk on defense while replacing Johnny Beecher with Justin Brazeau up front.
Clearly the changes did not help as the Bruins lost in overtime to a Leafs team that was missing their top forward in Auston Matthews.
