Taylor Hall to play on the second line with David Krecji and Craig Smith

As Taylor Hall gets settled into his new home, Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy is already giving him a pair of high assignments.

The veteran forward will play on the left wing on the Bruins’ second line, which is centered by David Krejci and has Craig Smith on the right wing.

“We’re trying to develop chemistry for [Krecji] and Hall,” Cassidy said in an interview on 98.5 The Sports Hub’s “Toucher and Rich” explaining why Hall will be on the second line. “[Patrice Bergeron] and [Brad Marchand] have always stayed together and we’ve moved [David Pastrnak] around. So, that’s first and foremost.
