Rick Nash Promoted To Second Line
7 years agoBoston Bruins forward Rick Nash is slated to play on the second line for Game 7 alongside Jake DeBrusk and David Krejci. This move is in correlation with Danton Heinen slotting back into the lineup on the team’s third line. Nash scored the winning goal in the 7-3 decision in Game 2 but hasn’t found the scoresheet otherwise and has a negative-three plus/minus rating through six games. Nash tallied three points in his first three games with the Bruins but only managed another three points in the final eight games of the regular season. He has not been much of a factor in this series, but he gets a bit of an uptick playing in the company of Krejci and DeBrusk, the team’s best forwards outside of the top unit. His linemates carry more DFS value, but Nash has an opportunity, albeit circumstantial, to get a good game in Wednesday.
