PREGAME NOTES

After missing the last four games due to an elbow infection, Patrice Bergeron will slot back into the lineup on Saturday. 

Other than Bergeron’s status, the Bruins will roll with the same forward grouping and D corps from Thursday’s win over Tampa Bay. Linus Ullmark will get the start in net.

Even though the Islanders seem to be on the outside looking in at the playoff picture, New York has been on a roll as of late — posting a record of 7-1-1 in their last nine games.
