In preparation for their matchup against the San Jose Sharks, the Boston Bruins are shaking things up. In a daring maneuver, they've moved Charlie Coyle to the third line center position and elevated rookie Matthew Poitras to the second line. Coach Jim Montgomery is banking on this change to give their offense a much-needed boost.
Charlie Coyle, renowned for his adaptability, is embracing this shift as he reunites with Trent Frederic and James van Riemsdyk. Coyle's performance this season has seen ups and downs, particularly in the faceoff department during the second game.
Last season, Coyle played a pivotal role in the Bruins' triumph, tallying 16 goals and 29 assists. Montgomery hints that if the Bruins ramp up their tempo and create more scoring opportunities, the current lineup could become a fixture. The team's unwavering goal is to secure victories.
