The Boston Bruins once again lost to the Florida Panthers yesterday (Oct. 14), this time by a 4-3 final score. The Bruins are simply continuing to have trouble against the Panthers, and a big reason for it is their lack of discipline.

However, it also did not help that the Bruins' top six were quiet again in this matchup. Fourth-liners Mark Kastelic, Cole Koepke, and Johnny Beecher were again the Bruins' best forward trio in this matchup. Because of this, Jim Montgomery made sure to praise the fourth line but also call out his top stars.

Here is what Montgomery said on the matter: "Really happy with the bottom six, and the fourth line has been very, very impressive. They're just doing their role. Guys in the top six aren't doing their role."

It is easy to understand why Montgomery called out his top forwards for this matchup. Their entire top six was held off the scoresheet against the Cats. In addition, the second line of Brad Marchand, Morgan Geekie, and Charlie Coyle have all yet to score a goal this season.

Let's see how the Bruins' top-six forwards respond to Montgomery's message from here. If the Bruins hope to have success this season, they need their top stars to deliver consistently.
