PREGAME NOTES
• Brad Marchand is a “game-time decision” for tonight's Game 6. Marchand was a full participant in an optional morning skate at TD Garden.
"He's going through his final steps,” coach Jim Montgomery said today. “He'll be a game-time decision."
• Montgomery said he expects his team “to have our best game tonight.”
“I think we feel good,” Danton Heinen told reporters. “We feel like we're kind of building here - some things we definitely need to improve on and address, but it's a good, positive vibe in here. Good energy in the room and we feel like we're building.
“I think we’ve still got out best game to show. I think everyone’s excited.”
• Montgomery on Trent Frederic’s playoff performance this season: “Really proud of his development…he's an unreal kid and human being, and to see him take the steps of owning the ice in the playoff time... It's something that... it's the first time he's doing it, and you can see his confidence on the ice. The goal he set up, the [Charlie] McAvoy goal... I don't think he ever would have thought of doing that two weeks ago, never mind two years ago.”
• Paul Maurice confirms that Nick Cousins and Ryan Lomberg are going in on the Panthers' fourth line tonight. Steven Lorentz and Kyle Okposo expected to draw out.
