Bruce Cassidy hinted at potential lineup changes the morning after the Bruins’ 4-1 loss to the Islanders in Game 4.
Specifically, he discussed the struggling bottom-six.
Nick Ritchie has hit his roughest patch of the season. Jake DeBrusk’s inconsistent season reared its ugly head in a defensive breakdown of Mat Barzal’s go-ahead goal on Saturday. The fourth line of Sean Kuraly, Curtis Lazar and Chris Wagner has been outplayed by New York’s checking trio of Matt Martin, Casey Cizikas and Cal Clutterbuck.
Putting everything into account, Cassidy followed up on his sentiment from Sunday’s media availability.
