Mired in another slump, Boston Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy switched up some of his lines again during Monday’s practice. Anders Bjork highlighted Cassidy’s latest switcharoo, skating with Jake DeBrusk and David Krejci on the second line ahead of the mother’s trip to Nashville for Tuesday’s matchup with the Predators.
The third-year left-winger becomes the latest plug on the ongoing second line carousel. To accompany Bjork’s promotion, Cassidy moved Charlie Coyle to his natural center role on the third line and rotated DeBrusk from his strong side to his off-wing to Krejci’s right.
DeBrusk and Krejci, like the rest of the team, have struggled with consistency during this recent three-game skid.
