PREGAME NOTES

No lineup changes for the Bruins, who will once again roll with Jeremy Swayman in net for the third straight game.

Even though Linus Ullmark will be sidelined once again, Bruce Cassidy confirmed that the B’s netminder is on track to start either Saturday or Sunday against the Rangers or Habs, respectively. 

As for David Pastrnak and Hampus Lindholm, Cassidy believes they could be cleared for Sunday’s road game in Montreal. 

Pittsburgh (43-23-11, 97 points) has lost nine of its past 13 games (4-7-2), leaving the team barely holding onto third place in the Metropolitan Division and trying not to fall into a wild-card spot.

With Tristan Jarry still sidelined with a lower-body injury, the Penguins will roll with Casey DeSmith in net once again.
