The Bruins had some new lines at practice yet again.
After failing to record a shot in the third period during their latest loss to the Ottawa Senators, the Boston Bruins made changes to their forward lines at practice on Monday.
After being scratched multiple games in a row, Morgan Geekie surprisingly skated at left wing on the first line with Pavel Zacha and David Pastrnak at practice. The 26-year-old has had a rough start to the season, posting two assists and a minus-4 rating in 11 games. Perhaps playing with Zacha and Pastrnak could be the spark he needs to heat back up.
Brad Marchand, Elias Lindholm, and Justin Brazeau remained together on the second line, but the third line had a new look. After spending the last few games on the first line, Tyler Johnson was dropped to the third line with Charlie Coyle and Trent Frederic. Frederic was on Boston's fourth line against Ottawa.
The Bruins also put Cole Koepke back on the fourth line with Johnny Beecher and Mark Kastelic. Matthew Poitras, on the other hand, skated as the extra forward.
