PREGAME NOTES

Jeremy Swayman will get the start in net for Boston — with Dan Vladar serving as the backup. Tuukka Rask will get the full day off, but is feeling fine, according to Bruce Cassidy. "Feels good after  (Thursday's) game, this morning,"Cassidy said. "But that's the way we're gonna go so he's not pressed into any emergency service, get some work (Saturday) and get back in the net. on Sunday."

Kevan Miller will miss his second straight game with an undisclosed injury: "He's day to day," said Cassidy. "It's not related to his previous injury, not COVID. Just something that came up that unfortunately has kept him out of the lineup. See where he's at [on Saturday]."

Matt Grzelcyk has resumed skating but will not play against the Islanders: "Grizz skated the other day, so he's progressing," said Cassidy. "If he's with the group (on Saturday), would have a chance for Sunday. Until that happens, he's similar in that he's got to get integrated with the group."

Both the Bruins and Islanders didn't have morning skates on Friday, but Cassidy said that Swayman taking over in net will be the lone lineup change for Boston.
