Marchand ties it. What a feed from Grzelcyk.

Back to 5v5 play.

Bruins to the power play.

Penguins tie it up off a sweet feed from Crosby — and then take the lead once agin on a power-play tally. 3-2 game.

PREGAME NOTES:

Boston's D corps suffered another major hit, as Brandon Carlo — who was not expected to play today due to an upper-body injury — is now listed as week-to-week. Carlo has only played one full game since getting concussed by Tom Wilson back on March 5. With Carlo out, Steven Kampfer will slot into the lineup today. Zach Senyshyn remains in the lineup.

Expect a drastically different lineup, as Bruce Cassidy put his lines in a blender for this matinee matchup.
