Boston Bruins head coach Claude Julien is not liking what he sees from Matt Beleskey so far this season.
As a result, the winger will sit Thursday's game in Tampa Bay in favor of Sean Kuraly, who will make his NHL debut.
Claude Julien on scratching Matt Beleskey (0 pts and a minus-7): "We need better from him. We've done everything we can to help him out"

To make matters worse, Beleskey has only fired 12 shots on goal, while linemates Riley Nash and Jimmy Hayes also have yet to record a point.
Beleskey is in the second season of a five-year, $19-million contract signed in 2015. He recorded 15 goals and 22 assists in 80 games last season.
