BREAKING: Lineup changes are made!

Tonight’s matchup against the Tampa Bay Lightning sees a few changes to the lineup.

Matt Belesky will sit in the press box for tonight’s game, whereas rookie Sean Kuraly will replace him in his first official NHL game.

Belesky, a left winger on the third line with both Riley Nash and Jimmy Hayes, has yet to see a single goal scored or assist this season. Both Nash and Hayes are also pointless since the beginning.

Sean Kuraly, also a winger, will replace Belesky in the third line, and the coaching staff hopes that his presence may create some offensive chances. The staff is also hoping that by scratching Belesky, the third line gets the message that they need to start producing points.

Kuraly was initially drafted by the San Jose Sharks in 2011, and was acquired by the Bruins in 2015 when they traded goalie Martin Jones. In eight games with the Providence Bruins, Sean Kuraly has one assist.
