WILMINGTON -- Good morning from Ristuccia Arena, where the Bruins, after being blanked by Florida last night, are trying out some new lines in practice.

Milan Lucic	Patrice Bergeron	Mark Recchi
Marco Sturm	David Krejci	Miroslav Satan
Brad Marchand	Vladimir Sobotka	Blake Wheeler
Daniel Paille	Begin/Whitfield	Ryder/Thornton

Zdeno Chara	Dennis Seidenberg
Mark Stuart	Dennis Wideman
Matt Hunwick	Johnny Boychuk

Tuukka Rask

Tim Thomas

"You've got to do something on the ice when we're struggling to score goals and we've got certain guys who aren't going as well," Claude Julien said. "You hope that making changes will either spark them, wake them up, or at least give different lines some better opportunities."

* Andrew Ference (groin) will not make the trip to Toronto. Ference will most likely miss Monday's game against Washington as well.

* Shawn Thornton, who missed last night's game because of an upper-body injury, said he's fit to play tomorrow.
