Bruins Practice Lines: Tuukka Rask, David Pastrnak In Only Pre-Carolina Tuneup
For one reason or another, the Boston Bruins can’t seem to get a full group on the ice for practice.
Boston has just one day before its first-round Stanley Cup playoff series vs. the Carolina Hurricanes begins, but the Black and Gold was without goaltender Tuukka Rask and first-line winger David Pastrnak at practice Monday, per the team’s Twitter account.
The reason for each absence is unknown. Head coach Bruce Cassidy is scheduled to speak with reporters later Monday afternoon.
With Pastrnak missing, Karson Kuhlman skated on the first line alongside Patrice Bergeron and Brad Marchand.
Here are the full lines, per the team.
Brad Marchand — Patrice Bergeron — Karson Kuhlman
Jake DeBrusk — David Krejci — Ondrej Kase
Nick Ritchie — Charlie Coyle — Anders Bjork
Joakim Nordstrom — Sean Kuraly — Chris Wagner
