PREGAME NOTES

The Bruins will get some major reinforcements back on the blue line, with Hampus Lindholm expected to play after missing the last three games with an upper-body injury. He’s expected to skate on Boston’s top pair with Charlie McAvoy. With Lindholm back in the lineup, Matt Grzelcyk is expected to slot out and not play in Game 6. 

The Bruins will reshuffle their forward group, with Bruce Cassidy breaking up the Marchand-Bergeron-Pastrnak line and putting Jake DeBrusk back on the top line. Trent Frederic will also slot back in the lineup on a reunited third line with Charlie Coyle and Craig Smith — while Chris Wagner will slot out of the lineup. 

Jeremy Swayman will start in net. 

No lineup changes are expected for Carolina — with Antti Raanta expected to start in net once again.
