PREGAME NOTES
• Coach Jim Montgomery told reporters that Brad Marchand was not an option for tonight's Game 5 after suffering an upper-body injury in Game 3. He's considered day-to-day.
• Look for the Bruins to try to put more shots on net tonight.
“We just got to focus on the task at hand, I think as a group, collectively,” Pat Maroon told reporters Monday. “We played a good first period [in Game 4]. Obviously, we got chances. We’re still not putting pucks enough to the net. Eighteen shots on a goalie throughout three periods is not good enough.”
