Speaking on Friday, Bruins head coach Jim Montgomery wouldn’t reveal his Game 4 starter, but he did say that the Bruins remain committed to their previously-established plan in goal. That’s been a common refrain from the Bruins leading up to the playoffs and through the first three games of their first-round series, but what exactly that plan entails has remained a mystery.
The possibility that Montgomery tipped his hand regarding the Bruins’ plans in goal remains there. Towards the end of the regular season, Montgomery was asked about how a playoff rotation would work and noted that it would almost certainly go 1-1-1-1 before it became more performance-based than anything else. Through three games, it’s played how Montgomery said it would back then, and it’s entirely possible that that’ll remain the case for Saturday’s Game 4 at Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena.
