With the Bruins struggling to score goals, Bruins bench boss, Claude Julien shuffled the lines today at practice.Old line mates Blake Wheeler, David Krejci, and Michael Ryder were back together. Remember, this line was dynamite at times last season. Also, Patrice Bergeron is now playing with Marco Sturm and Mark Recchi.
The third line is one I like quite a bit, with Daniel Paille, Vladimir Sobotka and Bard Marchand. This line is full of quick and pesky forwards who work very hard and cycle well.
Shawn Thornton and Steve Begin took their regular spots on the fourth line with Trent Whitfield getting the look on the left side. Whitfield will likely go tomorrow in place of Byron Bitz who missed Sunday's game with an injury. Bitz is expected back on Thursday night against Montreal.
