PREGAME NOTES

In a surprising move, David Pastrnak, Hampus Lindholm and Linus Ullmark are all expected to play on Saturday afternoon. Mike Reilly and Marc McLaughlin will be healthy scratches in order to make room for Lindholm and Pastrnak. 

The Rangers, who very well could face Boston in the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, will not have Andrew Copp or Filip Chytil in the lineup after both forwards suffered injuries during their last game against the Islanders on Thursday. 

Boston (47-25-5, 99 points) enters the third and final regular-season meeting with its Original Six rivals having lost four of six following Thursday's 4-0 setback in Pittsburgh. Meanwhile, the Blueshirts have won four games in a row.
