But when it comes to their offensive production, Boston’s fourth line has been drawing comparisons to the so-called “Merlot” line that had success when the Bruins last won the Stanley Cup in 2011. “The Merlot line was a great line,” said winger Acciari. Acciari, Kuraly and Nordstrom have already scored six goals and 15 points in 18 games, while injured fourth-liner Chris Wagner also has two goals. “They’re a great line. They play simple hockey.”As for what to call the line, Merlot isn’t going to work since they wear black jerseys at practice.
