C | 1 | Patrice Bergeron  ActivePatrice Bergeron will play in Game 5 against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday. Bergeron missed Game 4 because of an upper-body issue, but he's good to go tonight. The 32-year-old is centering David Pastrnak and Brad Marchand. He has five assists in three games during the postseason. Apr 21 |
| 2 | David Krejci  ActiveDavid Krejci notched one goal and one assist in Thursday night's 5-1 win over Toronto. Krejci scored Boston's third power-play goal of the match when he banked the puck off Leafs goalie Frederik Andersen from a bad angle. His assist came during the second stanza when he set up a power-play marker by David Backes. Boston leads the best-of-seven series 1-0. Apr 13 |
| 3 | Riley Nash  ActiveRiley Nash has done a remarkable job filling in for Patrice Bergeron throughout the season. Nash also had to fill in for Bergeron in Game 4 against Toronto on Thursday night. Despite Bergeron being one of their best players, the Bruins have a 13-5-2 record when he's out of the lineup. A lot of that has to do with Nash's ability to step up. "He’s been a real good player for us. I don’t know if I’d call him an unknown, but he’s a guy that’s really elevated his game this season as it’s went along," Bruce Cassidy said of Nash. "Some of that has been opportunity. When Bergeron goes out, he has a chance to play with Marchand and Pastrnak. You saw it. He’s done a really good job when we’ve put him in there. He’s had a little bit more of an opportunity to have an offensive role." Apr 21 |
| 4 | Jordan Szwarz  ActiveJordan Szwarz has inked a one-year, two-way contract extension with Boston. Szwarz can earn $650,000 at the NHL level, which matches his salary for the 2017-18 campaign. If he plays in the AHL, then his annual salary will be $350,000. He would have become an unrestricted free agent had he not re-signed. He has three assists in 12 games with Boston this season. Mar 30 |
| 5 | Tommy Wingels  ActiveTommy Wingels will be a healthy scratch in Game 5 against Toronto on Saturday night. Wingels played in Game 4, but he finds himself on the sidelines tonight. The 30-year-old has no points in two contests this postseason. Ryan Donato, Brian Gionta and Nick Holden will also watch the game from the press box. Apr 21 |
| 6 | Sean Kuraly  ActiveSean Kuraly registered a pair of helpers in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs. Kuraly's line was on the ice for both of Boston's goals on Monday night, and the Bruins forward picked up helpers on both of them (one by Adam McQuaid, one by Zdeno Chara). Kuraly finished the game with a plus-2 rating and two shots on goal in 9:42 of ice time. The 25-year-old now has a goal and two assists in three games this postseason. Even though they lost Game 3, the Bruins still have a 2-1 lead in this best-of-seven series. Game 4 will be played in Toronto on Thursday night. Apr 16 |
| 7 | Colby Cave  ActiveColby Cave has been recalled on an emergency basis. Cave has played in just one game with Boston this season, while collecting 33 points in 68 matches with Providence of the AHL. Apr 2 |
| 8 | Ryan Donato  ActiveRyan Donato will be a healthy scratch in Game 4 against Toronto on Thursday. Even with the injury to Patrice Bergeron, Donato couldn't get back into the lineup. The 22-year-old has played in just one of the the three playoff games so far and he failed to pick up a point in that contest. Brian Gionta and Nick Holden will also watch the game from the press box. Apr 19 |
LW | 1 | Brad Marchand  ActiveBrad Marchand scored the game-winning goal in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs. The Bruins' top line still managed to damage even though Patrice Bergeron (upper body) didn't play. Marchand gave the Bruins a 2-1 lead at the 16:55 mark of the second frame, and they never looked back. He finished the game with a plus-1 rating, two shots on goal and one hit in 20:25 of ice time. The 29-year-old has been a machine in this series, as he's picked up two goals and five assists in four games. The Bruins now have a 3-1 lead in the best-of-seven series. Game 5 will be played in Boston on Saturday night. Apr 19 |
| 2 | Rick Nash  ActiveRick Nash has looked good since his return to the lineup from a concussion. Nash has logged just over 17 minutes of ice time in the first two games of the playoffs after he missed the final 12 matches of the regular season. He scored a power-play goal in Game 2 and has three shots in each outing. Apr 16 |
| 3 | Jake DeBrusk  ActiveJake DeBrusk recorded an assist in Boston's 4-3 loss to Toronto in Game 5 on Saturday. DeBrusk is up to two goals and four points in five playoff games. That's a pretty solid showing out of him after he recorded 16 goals and 43 points in 70 regular season contests as a rookie. So far, Game 3 is the only postseason contest where he's been held off the scoresheet. Apr 22 |
| 4 | Tim Schaller  ActiveTim Schaller scored a goal and had five shots in a 6-1 loss to the Vancouver Canucks on Saturday night. Schaller has points in three straight games for Boston, and has four points in his last five outings. Schaller's goal gives him 10 on the season and 17 points in 56 games. Feb 18 |
RW | 1 | David Pastrnak  ActiveDavid Pastrnak registered a pair of assists in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs. Pastrnak helped set up Torey Krug's first-period goal just 28 seconds into the game. He also picked up the primary assist on Brad Marchand's game-winning goal in the middle frame. Pastrnak finished the game with a plus-1 rating, two shots on goal and two hits in 18:49 of ice time. The 21-year-old has been outstanding in the playoffs so far. He's up to four goals and 11 points in four games this postseason. The Bruins have a 3-1 lead in this best-of-seven series. Game 5 will be played in Boston on Saturday night. Apr 19 |
| 2 | Danton Heinen  ActiveDanton Heinen picked up a goal and an assist in a 5-2 win over the Ottawa Senators. Heinen took the puck off the boards from Brian Gionta and elected to shoot on a two-on-one for his 16th goal of the season. The 22-year-old forward is currently sitting at 47 points in 76 games this season and has really impressed in his first full season at the NHL level. David Pastrnak, Tommy Wingels, Noel Acciari and David Backes also scored in the win. Apr 7 |
| 3 | David Backes  ActiveDavid Backes scored a goal in Sunday's 4-2 loss to Florida. Backes got the Bruins on the board at the 8:18 mark of the first period after Florida took an early lead. He scored two goals in two games to end the regular season. Backes had 33 points in 57 appearances during his second campaign with the Bruins. Apr 9 |
| 4 | Brian Gionta  ActiveBrian Gionta will be a healthy scratch in Game 2 against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday. Gionta had two goals and five assists in 20 games with the Bruins during the regular season. He was also a healthy scratch in Game 1. Nick Holden will also watch the game from the press box. Apr 14 |
| 5 | Noel Acciari  ActiveNoel Acciari scored a goal and an assist in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs. Acciari helped set up Sean Kuraly's second-period goal which cut Boston's deficit to 4-2 at the time. The Bruins forward then added tally of his own to make it 4-3 early in the third frame. These were the 26-year-old's first two points of the 2018 Stanley Cup Playoffs. David Backes also found the back of the net for the Bruins. Despite the loss, Boston still leads the best-of-seven series 3-2. Game 6 will be played in Toronto on Monday night. Apr 21 |
| 6 | Anders Bjork  I.L.Anders Bjork has undergone shoulder surgery. Bjork will need six months to recover, which means he's done for the 2017-18 campaign, but should be fine for training camp. He had four goals and 12 points in 30 games in his rookie season. Feb 22 |
D | 1 | Torey Krug  ActiveTorey Krug has been one of the league's top defensemen offensively so far in the 2017-18 playoffs. Krug has stood out in Boston's first round series against Toronto with a goal and eight points in five games. That puts him in a tie with Washington's John Carlson for first place among defensemen in the scoring race. No other blueliner is close to Krug and Carlson as there's currently a five-way tie for third place at five points. Apr 22 |
| 2 | Charlie McAvoy  ActiveCharlie McAvoy (knee) will be back in the fold for Tuesday's game against Tampa Bay. McAvoy had been absent for Boston's last 15 games because of sprained MCL. The rookie defender has seven goals and 32 points in 59 games this season. Apr 3 |
| 3 | Brandon Carlo  SidelinedBrandon Carlo (ankle) won't be able to compete in the Stanley Cup Playoffs for a second straight year. Carlo missed the postseason last year after he sustained a concussion in game No. 82. This time around, he sustained a fractured left ankle in his 76th appearance of the regular season. Carlo will undergo surgery later this week and he's expected to need three-to-four months of recovery time. Apr 4 |
| 4 | Zdeno Chara  ActiveZdeno Chara scored a goal in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs. Chara tied the game at two in the second period when he beat Leafs goalie Frederik Andersen with a terrific shot from an awkward angle. Unfortunately for the Bruins, Auston Matthews scored the game-winner before the end of the middle frame. Chara finished the night with a plus-1 rating while tying for the team-high in shots on goal with five. He played 22:31 in this one. The 41-year-old now has one goal and one assist in three postseason games. Despite the loss, the Bruins still lead the best-of-seven series, 2-1. Game 4 will be played in Toronto on Thursday night. Apr 16 |
| 5 | Adam McQuaid  ActiveAdam McQuaid scored in a 4-2 loss to Toronto in Game 3 on Monday night. McQuiad got the Bruins on the board early in the second period to tie the game at 1-1. He posted three shots, two blocks and two hits in the contest despite logging just 9:18 of ice time in the match. McQuaid took a puck to the throat area, but he seemed to be OK after the contest. Apr 17 |
| 6 | Nick Holden  ActiveNick Holden logged just 12:25 of ice time in Game 3 against Toronto. Holden picked up an assist in a 4-2 loss to the Maple Leafs. Coach Bruce Cassidy thought that the 30-year-old defender played fine as a replacement for the injured Matt Grzelcyk. Grzelcyk may be available to return in Game 4 on Thursday. Apr 18 |
| 7 | Matthew Grzelcyk  ActiveMatthew Grzelcyk recorded his first career playoff point on Saturday. Grzelcyk registered an assist in what was his fourth career postseason game. He also had two shots on goal and two penalty minutes in 16:25 minutes of ice time. During the regular season, he had three goals and 15 points in 61 contests. Apr 22 |
| 8 | Tommy Cross  ActiveTommy Cross will be a healthy scratch in Thursday's game against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Cross was recalled on an emergency basis because Matt Grzelcyk (upper body) was a game-time decision. With Grzelcyk in the lineup, there was no reason to play Cross, who hasn't suited up in an NHL game this year. Jordan Szwarz will also watch the game from the press box. Mar 29 |
| 9 | Kevan Miller  ActiveKevan Miller (upper body) will return to the Bruins lineup on Saturday night. The injury forced him to miss each of Boston's last nine games. He has one goal and 10 points in 44 games this season. He doesn't need to be owned in any fantasy format. Feb 24 |
G | 1 | Tuukka Rask  ActiveTuukka Rask will start for the Bruins in Game 6 on Monday. No surprise there. Rask is coming off a rough game where he was pulled after allowing four goals on 13 shots, but he's a great netminder and the clear starter in Boston. It would take more than one bad start for him to lose his position in the playoffs. Apr 22 |
| 2 | Anton Khudobin  ActiveAnton Khudobin allowed two goals on 28 shots in a 5-2 win over the Ottawa Senators. In what could very well be his last appearance of the year, Khudobin put in a great performance and will finish the year with a 16-6-7 record, a 2.56 goals-against-average and a .913 save percentage. The 31-year-old netminder was considered a liability at the start of the year but performed like one of the better backup goaltenders in the NHL this season. He'll be an unrestricted free-agent at the end of the season. Apr 7 |
| 3 | Zane McIntyre  ActiveZane McIntyre has been summoned by the Boston Bruins. It's not uncommon for teams to carry three goaltenders in the playoffs, so this doesn't necessarily mean anything. McIntyre posted a 2.59 GAA and .912 save percentage in 45 AHL games this season. Apr 12 |
