"Boston Bruins General Manager Don Sweeney announced today, November 1, the following roster transactions:

The team has placed defenseman Matt Grzelcyk on long-term injured reserve; placed forward Jakub Lauko on injured reserve; recalled defensemen Mason Lohrei, Ian Mitchell and Parker Wotherspoon from Providence. "

I wonder what the pairings will be.

Lindholm Carlo probably stay together.

But will they try to balance out the remainder, especially road games with last change. They might split up Forbort and Shattenkirk.

Maybe Lohrei Shattenkirk.
Forbort Mitchell/Parker

 

[DarrenBanks56]

lindholm better step it up

9 games into the season and the Bs have scored 3 or more goals in EVERY game. That's pretty damn impressive for a team that lost so much in the offseason. The crazy diff of last season might not be there, but being able to consistently score 3+ goals is not exactly peanuts. Score 3 goals consistently with the Bs goalie tandem backing them up, that's a recipe for a ton of wins.

Bs goalies/PK/D have limited opposing teams to 2 or less goals 8 of the 9 games. Also impressive. I get that the schedule becomes tougher, however so far the Bs are very much knocking this season out of the park.

The Leafs and Bs are essentially even in goals scored. Leafs have given up twice as many goals as the Bs. Interesting that the Leafs have already lost to the Preds, the Kings, the Blackhawks, and the Panthers, teams that the Bs beat.

Yeah, that seems right. I think Wotherspoon is the 7th D.

Lindholm-Carlo
Lohrei-Shattenkirk
Forbort-Mitchell

How has Lowrider been doing in Prov? I see he has 4 assists on 8 games, or something like that? How's his D zone game been?

First real big game of the season in my mind

I question if they'll split up Lindholm and Carlo...Lohrei played mostly with Carlo in preseason, so I could see him there.

 

[Guelph Bruin]

I don't know but if Wotherspoon is more defensiveley responsible than Mitchell (not sure that he is?) I'd go with him on the 3rd pair against the leafs who like to play an attack game and I think the Lohrei-Shattenkirk should get way more offensive end starts vs defensive end ....that pairing could be a liability in our zone but a boon in the O zone

Lindholm-Carlo
Lohrei-Shattenkirk
Forbort-Wotherspoon

Hmm this game not on Canadian tv?

 

[missingchicklet]

Good thing DS brought in JVR, Shattenkirk, and now Heinen on the cheap. Good to have reliable vets like those guys when holes in the lineup start appearing.

 

[JOKER 192]

Good luck to all the callups, this is your chance to make your mark, make the best of it.

Gonna be a heavy workload for Carlo and Lindholm I imagine .

The Bruins did very well without Mac and Grizz early last season. Here's hoping they can repeat .

Hmm this game not on Canadian tv?

I'm in the DR right now. SN won't load games outside Canada. Won't even show me the schedule.

 

[Alicat]

Um where’s Forbort?

 

[hrdpuk]

Thanks Alicat

 

[Blowfish]

Interesting...Brown blah

 

[NDiesel]

Interesting for Zacha to move to LW...thought he looked fine so far at C

Looks like maintenance days for Marchand and Forbort

Ah didn't even click in that Marchy wasn't on the lines....all these maintenance days early, hopefully they learned their lesson last year with Bergy.

 

[UConn126]

Pretty wild how fast our d-corps went from one of the best in the league to barely an NHL group overnight lol. Excited to see Lorhei-Carlo, that could be a great pairing.


Who do we think get's McAvoy's A while he's out? I'd figured either the other Charlie or Carlo must be the next guy up.

 

[Sheppy]

Bruins get shelled tomorrow.

Poitras centering Zacha and Pasta could be interesting​
