The Boston Bruins are in an interesting predicament with Mason Lohrei. He has been a healthy scratch for the last five games, and the Bruins have won them all. His defensive deficiencies haven't been missed on the Bruins' backend, and Charlie McAvoy is playing some of the best hockey of his career alongside a new defense partner. Even if Lohrei makes his way back to the lineup, it'll likely never be alongside Charlie McAvoy.
In a parallel universe, former Bruins' head coach Jim Montgomery is in the same position that the Bruins were in 10 days ago.
