Bruins Coach Confirms New Lineup Change

The Boston Bruins are set to play the Minnesota Wild on Feb. 4. The Original Six club will look to build off their impressive 6-3 win against the New York Rangers in their last contest. 

While speaking to reporters, head coach Joe Sacco shared that Mark Kastelic will officially be back in the lineup against the Wild. With Kastelic returning, Sacco announced that forward Cole Koepke will be coming out of the lineup. 

Kastelic, 25, has not played since Jan. 20's contest against the San Jose Sharks due to an upper-body injury. With this, he missed each of the Bruins' last six games and eight of their previous 10. 

Kastelic has appeared in 45 games this season with the Bruins, posting four goals and new career highs with nine assists and 13 points. 

Koepke, 26, has set new career highs with seven goals, five assists, 12 points, and 103 hits this season. However, he has been on a cold streak lately, as he has zero points in his last seven games and two in his previous 22.
