The Bruins will look to regain home-ice benefit Wednesday, as they meet the the Maple Leafs in Recreation 3 of their first-round Stanley Cup playoff sequence at Scotiabank Area.
Boston can have a distinct solid of characters in that try, although.
Bruins head coach Jim Montgomery hasn’t formally revealed any commerce secrets and techniques, however the expectation is that Mason Lohrei, Parker Wotherspoon and James van Riemsdyk will enter the lineup. Lohrei confirmed as a lot, telling ESPN’s Emily Kaplan his postseason debut provides him “perhaps much more butterflies” than his debut from again in November.
Matt Grzelcyk, Andrew Peeke and Jakub Lauko will sit in Recreation 3, because the B’s look so as to add dimension throughout the board. Peeke is stated to be week-to-week with the harm he suffered early in Monday’s loss. Grzelcyk and Lauko’s may slot again into the lineup at any level, relying on teaching choices.

William Nylander is a game-time determination, and although it’s seemingly that he stays sidelined for a minimum of yet another sport, Toronto head coach Sheldon Keefe says it’s “a risk” that he returns in Recreation 3.
Jeremy Swayman is predicted to maintain Boston’s goalie rotation so as, although Montgomery wouldn’t give any definitive reply following morning skate.
The B’s and Leafs are scheduled to take the ice at 7 p.m. ET on NESN, following an hour of pregame protection. We’ve bought the projected strains and defensive pairings for each golf equipment right here:
