PREGAME NOTES

Linus Ullmark will start Game 4 after Jim Montgomery said Saturday there was some consideration for Jeremy Swayman.

David Krejci will miss a second straight game. Montgomery said he "really doesn't think" Krejci will be an option for Game 5, either.

Patrice Bergeron, at home in Boston, will miss a fourth straight game. Game 5 still remains the target for his return.

Boston will roll out the same lineup as Game 3.

Aaron Ekblad will not play for the Panthers He did not play in the third period of Game 3 after a collision with Charlie McAvoy. Ekblad skated in an optional practice Saturday and was "feeling much better," Paul Maurice said. North Reading, Mass.'s Casey Fitzgerald will take his spot in the lineup.

Sergei Bobrovsky will get the start in net for Florida. Alex Lyon made 23 saves before being pulled after David Pastrnak made it 3-0 in Game 3. Bobrovsky stopped eight of nine in relief in his first game since March 27.

Anthony Duclair is also a late scratch. Zac Dalpe will slot in.

FINAL:

The Bruins take down the Panthers, 6-2, with a big third period, outscoring Florida, 4-1, in the final 20 minutes. Taylor Hall had two goals and two assists, and Jake DeBrusk had two tallies. Linus Ullmark made 41 saves before Jeremy Swayman made two in relief at the end. B's take a 3-1 lead back to Boston for Game 5.
