PREGAME NOTES:

The Bruins will look to fight off elimination and force a Game 7 back at TD Garden when they take on the New York Islanders in Game 6 on Wednesday night at Nassau Coliseum.

Tuukka Rask will get the start in net for Boston, despite exiting Game 5 ahead of the third period with a flare-up of a lingering injury. 

Elsewhere in the Bruins’ lineup, Jake DeBrusk will return to the ice and play on a third line with Charlie Coyle and Karson Kuhlman. DeBrusk, who was benched for Game 5 in favor of Kuhlman, should benefit from slotting back in at his natural spot at left wing. With DeBrusk taking the 3LW spot, Nick Ritchie will slot down to the fourth line — with Sean Kuraly moving over to the center spot in place of Curtis Lazar, who will miss Game 6 due to a lower-body injury.

The Bruins have a 4-21 record all-time in best-of-seven series when they trail, 3-2, in a series and they are 12-13 in Game 6s of series in which they trail, 3-2, after Game 5.
