Bruins shake up lines following Mojo's injury

On Tuesday night, the Boston Bruins lost newly acquired forward Marcus Johansson to an upper-body injury after he was levelled by a clean but high-speed hit from Carolina Hurricanes' Micheal Ferland and went down the tunnel. He did not return to the game, which the Bruins won 4-3 in overtime. 


Mojo has a concussion history, which is worrisome for his overall health and his return to the lineup. The New Jersey Devils traded Johansson to the Bruins at the deadline. In exchange, the Devils are acquiring a second-round pick in 2019 and a fourth-round pick in 2020. Boston is surely hoping their new acquisition can remain healthy for the playoff run. 

On January 23, 2018, Johansson suffered a concussion after a dirty elbow from his now teammate Brad Marchand. The Bruins all-star forward was suspended five games by the NHL, but Johansson was forced to miss the rest of the regular season due to severe symptoms from concussion syndrome.

On Wednesday as the Bruins jumped on the ice for practice, head coach Bruce Cassidy had to shake up some of his lines in the absence of Mojo. Here is a look at the Bruins' line from today's skate:

Marchand - Bergeron - Heinen
DeBrusk - Krejci - Cehlarik
Nordstrom - Coyle - Backes
Kuraly - Acciari - Wagner

Chara - McAvoy
Krug - Carlo
Moore - Grzelcyk
Kampfer

Rask
Halak


The Bruins are back in action on Thursday night as they face off against the Florida Panthers.
