Bruins Shock Fans by Moving Longtime Forward to the Blueline
Despite the departure of notable players like Patrice Bergeron and David Krejci, the Bruins have performed exceptionally well this year. However, Patrick Brown seems to be struggling to make his mark.
In his initial five games with the Bruins, Brown hasn't recorded a point. The organization's solution? A change in position.
Brown Moved to Bruins' Third Defensive Pairing
Switching positions early in a player's career isn't unusual, as seen with Brent Burns. Yet, it's quite rare for a 31-year-old to move from forward to defense.
For Patrick Brown, currently on a one-year contract with the Bruins, it seems he's set to transition to the defensive end.
Here's a look at the Bruins' practice lineup:
Van Riemsdyk-Coyle-DeBrusk
Frederic-Poitras-Geekie
Heinen-Beecher-Steen
Grzelcyk-McAvoy
Lindholm-Carlo
Forbort/Brown-Shattenkirk
Ullmark
Swayman
Fans were quick to spot this unusual move and shared humorous reactions.
Only time will tell if this change will be the turning point for Patrick Brown. Could we be looking at a future Norris trophy contender in this 31-year-old?
