The Boston Bruins are making lineup changes for their upcoming road trip game against the Colorado Avalanche on Wednesday. Coach Jim Montgomery is adding forwards Riley Tufte and Max Jones to the lineup, with the duo set to join Matt Poitras on a new line. Justin Brazeau and Morgan Geekie will be coming out of the lineup to make room for the changes.
One significant change will see Trent Frederic moving up to play on the second line alongside Charlie Coyle and Brad Marchand, replacing Geekie. Montgomery praised the chemistry of the fourth line consisting of Mark Kastelic, Cole Koepke, and Johnny Beecher, leading to their continued partnership.
Geekie, who had a successful season last year with 17 goals and 22 assists, has yet to score this season and will now be on the sidelines for the upcoming game. Although Montgomery has not yet announced the starting goalie for the game, the team seems confident in their new lineup changes.
This lineup shakeup comes as the Bruins look to improve their performance on the road trip, hoping that the changes will lead to success against the Avalanche. Fans will be eagerly watching to see how the new forwards adjust to their roles and if the team can secure a victory with the revamped lineup.
