Tonight, the Boston Bruins will be visiting the Washington Capitals and Bruins head coach Jim Montgomery provided the lineup changes. Jakub Lauko will be in for James van Riemsdyk, Kevin Shattenkirik will be in for Parker Wotherspoon and Jeremy Swayman will start in net.
James van Riemsdyk being out of the lineup is not entirely surprising as he has now gone 15 straight games without a goal. Also, with Bruins already clinching a playoff spot, and with 8 games remaining, Jeremy Swayman and Linus Ullmark could very well each get 4 games to keep both goaltenders fresh come playoff time. With the Bruins' division still up for grabs, hopefully they can get 2 points tonight against the surging Washington Capitals.
