| Pos | Role | Name |
| C | 1 | David Krejci  ActiveDavid Krejci contributed two assists in Boston's 5-2 win over New York in Game 2 Sunday afternoon. He hasn't scored a goal since his hat trick in Game 4 of Round 1 versus Toronto, but he has six helpers in five playoff outings since then. The Bruins lead the Rangers 2-0 in the second-round series and Krejci still leads all skaters in the postseason in scoring with 16 points. May 20 |
| 2 | Patrice Bergeron ActivePatrice Bergeron's three-game playoff point streak ended Tuesday night in a 2-1 win over the New York Rangers. He posted four shots and finished with a minus-1 rating, but he won 70 percent of his faceoffs. Bergeron has won over 70 percent of his draws in four of his last five outings, which is a remarkable success rate. He has taken 201 faceoffs in the postseason and won 64.2 percent of them, which makes him the best in the league right now. May 22 |
| 3 | Chris Kelly ActiveChris Kelly and Daniel Paille had a goal and an assist apiece but their Boston Bruins lost to the Buffalo Sabres 3-2 via a shootout. Neither player has the kind of numbers that indicate that they'll be fantasy relevant on most nights, but Kelly at least showed why he was missed to some degree when he was on the shelf about a week or so ago. Apr 18 |
| 4 | Gregory Campbell ActiveGregory Campbell got his first goal of the 2013 playoffs in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Rangers in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals. The fourth-line center also picked up three hits and a fighting major in the third when he squared off with pugilist Derek Dorsett. Campbell has two points, 11 penalty minutes and 25 hits in nine playoff games. May 20 |
| 5 | Carl Soderberg ActiveCarl Soderberg recorded his first NHL point on Sunday. It was just his second NHL game. He joined the Boston Bruins after scoring 31 goals and 60 points in 54 Swedish Elite League games. Apr 22 |
| 6 | Marc Savard  I.L.Marc Savard, who is still suffering from concussion-like symptoms, will be in Boston this week and the Bruins will declare him unfit to play. Savard is under contract through 2016-17 at an annual average salary of just a little over $4 million. The Bruins may not have to place him on long-term injured reserve to start the season though. "We've got a lot of flexibility this year," said GM Peter Chiarelli. "Do I suspect we'll use Savard's LTI? It depends. [Owner Jeremy] Jacobs has allowed us to pursue those types of players. He wants to win. I think if we presented a compelling case, I think he'd let us use it." Jan 14 |
| LW | 1 | Milan Lucic ActiveMilan Lucic got his third goal of the postseason in Boston's Game 2 win over the New York Rangers. He potted the last goal of the contest in a 5-2 victory. Lucic also posted two hits to give him a total of 42 in just nine playoff games. He currently has 10 postseason points. May 20 |
| 2 | Brad Marchand ActiveBrad Marchand said the Boston Bruins need to make sure they don't let the New York Rangers back in the series. The Bruins were up 3-1 on Toronto only to see the Maple Leafs rally and force Game 7. "We realize we let [Toronto] back in it. We didn't have that killer instinct. ... We want to step up and do the job," Marchand said at Tuesday's morning skate. The Bruins lead the Rangers 2-0 heading into Game 3 tonight. May 21 |
| 3 | Daniel Paille ActiveDaniel Paille notched a goal and an assist to lead Boston to a 2-1 Game 3 win over the New York Rangers. He picked up an assist on defenseman Johnny Boychuck's fourth marker of the playoffs and then he supplied the game-winning goal late in the third. The Bruins' fourth line wanted to contribute more offensively and they were the driving force behind Tuesday's victory. Shawn Thornton picked up two assists in the contest and Gregory Campbell had a helper of his own. Milan Lucic recorded five hits and Matt Bartkowski led the team with six. Boston now owns a commanding 3-0 series lead versus the Rangers. May 21 |
| 4 | Kaspars Daugavins ActiveKaspars Daugavins will be in the Boston lineup for Game 1 while Rich Peverley is a healthy scratch. Daugavins was skating on the third line in practice this morning alongside Chris Kelly, Jaromir Jagr and Rich Peverley. May 1 |
| 5 | Jay Pandolfo ActiveJay Pandolfo replaced Chris Bourque on the third line Thursday night. Pandolfo, who had been primarily a fourth-liner, was a minus-one in 11:42 of ice time. It's very likely this is a short-term thing as the Bruins are shopping for a No. 3 left wing. Mar 8 |
| RW | 1 | Tyler Seguin ActiveTyler Seguin is likely to begin the second round on Boston's third line. He was bumped down the rotation in favor of veteran winger Jaromir Jagr in Game 7 against Toronto. Seguin remained with Chris Kelly and Rich Peverley during Boston's practice Wednesday. He had one assist in the seventh game of the series for his first point. May 15 |
| 2 | Jaromir Jagr ActiveJaromir Jagr didn't take part in Tuesday's optional skate but will play in Game 3 tonight. Claude Julien wasn't the least bit concerned, saying Jagr knows his body and his conditioning. Plus, it's not like Jagr hasn't been putting in on-ice work on his own time. The 41-year-old winger apparently hit the ice in the hours after Tuesday's Game 2 win to work on his shot and his stickhandling. May 21 |
| 3 | Nathan Horton ActiveNathan Horton's third-period goal triggered the Bruins' improbable rally over the Leafs. Down 4-1 with a little more than 14 minutes left, the Bruins had little energy and they were hearing it from the crowd. But Horton's goal provided a jolt. "It was tough there on the bench, getting booed, and looking at the time clock and watching the seconds count down," said Brad Marchand. ... "After [Horton] got that first one for us that started the climb back, we see the emotion on the bench and guys started to believe. That's what we needed." May 14 |
| 4 | Rich Peverley ActiveRich Peverley logged 13:42 of ice time in his return to Boston's lineup Saturday night in Game 2. The Bruins are still waiting to get some offense out of their third line, which has been sore spot for the club all year. The thought was that Jaromir Jagr would help add some scoring punch alongside Peverley and Chris Kelly, but that is yet to happen. Jagr, Peverley, Kelly and Kaspars Daugavins, who played instead of Peverley in Game 1 against Toronto, don't have a point in Boston's first-round series. May 6 |
| 5 | Shawn Thornton ActiveShawn Thornton got he wanted in Game 3 as Boston's fourth line helped the team score both goals in a 2-1 triumph over the New York Rangers Tuesday night. He wanted his line, along with Daniel Paille (game-winning goal) and Gregory Campbell (an assist), to help out in the scoring act heading into the contest. "We're a better team when all four lines are going for 60 (minutes)," said Thornton, who chipped in two assists. "(Last night) we didn't have any passengers. We might have been the ones who got a couple of goals, but I thought everyone was going." May 22 |
| D | 1 | Zdeno Chara ActiveWhile Ryan Suter's 31:37 minutes per game easily tops all players in this postseason, Zdeno Chara is averaging the most ice time among active participants. Chara is logging 29:23 minutes per game, comfortably ahead of Drew Doughty (28:06) and Kris Letang (27:17). With that in mind, the towering Boston Bruins captain would likely welcome the "rust" that may come from a second-round sweep. May 23 |
| 2 | Dennis Seidenberg  SidelinedDennis Seidenberg (lower body) took part in an optional session on Wednesday and said there's a chance he could be ready to play in Game 4. "There's a chance for sure," he said after the skate. "But you don't want to come back too early. We'll see how it feels [Thursday] and go from there." There is also the possibility that the Bruins may hold him out of the lineup for Game 4 because the team's defense has performed so well against the Rangers in the series. May 23 |
| 3 | Dougie Hamilton ActiveThe Boston Bruins may have a difficult decision to make when some of their veteran defensemen are available to return to the lineup from their respective injuries. Dennis Seidenberg and Wade Redden appear to be close to returning after practicing with the team on Monday, but the Bruins have benefited from solid performances by young blueliners Dougie Hamilton, Torey Krug and Matt Bartkowski in their absences. When Seidenberg, Redden or Andrew Ference are able to dress again it will be interesting to see what adjustments coach Claude Julien makes to his lineup. Changes may come as early as Game 3 Tuesday night, so stayed tuned for details during the morning skate. May 21 |
| 4 | Andrew Ference SidelinedAndrew Ference (lower body) did some off-ice work Wednesday. He hasn't resumed skating since suffering a lower-body injury in Game 5 against Toronto, but coach Claude Julien said the defenseman is making some progress. May 23 |
| 5 | Johnny Boychuk ActiveJohnny Boychuk netted his fourth goal of the playoffs in Tuesday's win over the Rangers. He potted the game-tying goal in the third period of a 2-1 victory. The Bruins have received plenty of offense from the back end in their second-round series versus New York, with five goals coming from defensemen. "It's just a bonus," Boychuk said. "We just want to get shots on net and our forwards are doing a good job of screening (the goalie). Sometimes they'll tip it and it will go in. But we've been hitting the net and it's been going in. We just have to keep doing the same thing." May 22 |
| 6 | Adam McQuaid ActiveAdam McQuaid has been named a finalist for the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy. The award goes to the "player who best exemplifies the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship and dedication to hockey." He underwent two surgeries in September because of Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, which caused blood clots to form in his neck and shoulder. The ailment was expected to sidelined him for the season, but he returned for the Bruins' regular-season opener once the lockout was settled. May 14 |
| 7 | Matt Bartkowski ActiveMatt Bartkowski scored his first NHL goal in the Bruins' Game 7 win. It was the game's first goal, coming at 5:39. Bartkowski, in only his 23rd game, found the net and also had three shots on goal. Bruins coach Claude Julien was happy how his young defensemen, Bartkowski and Dougie Hamilton, played. "You have to find a way to give credit to those two young guys on the back end —Hamilton and obviously Bartkowski," Julien said. "Bartkowski was moving the puck and carrying it so well tonight, and he scored a big goal for us. I saw Dougie Hamilton get more and more comfortable as the game went on as far as carrying the puck and making plays. You talk about people coming in, well we were minus three real good veterans in our back end, so that’s half your core, and those guys come in and do a heck of a job. May 14 |
| 8 | Torey Krug ActiveIt's obvious that Torey Krug is feeling it as he begins his playoff career. He now has a goal in both of his first two postseason contests and added an assist for a two-point afternoon on Sunday. He was a big part of the Boston Bruins' 5-2 win against the New York Rangers in Game 2 and it's hard to imagine him losing his spot when the veteran defensemen are ready to return. May 19 |
| 9 | Wade Redden SidelinedWade Redden (undisclosed) won't be back in Game 3 Tuesday night. The Boston Bruins will ice the same lineup they did in Games 1 and 2. May 21 |
| G | 1 | Tuukka Rask ActiveTuukka Rask isn't bothered that his play isn't being trumpeted from the rooftops in some circles. "I don't care," he said Wednesday. "I know that people are saying our defensive system helps me out and stuff like that. And most of the time I'm in the right position and the saves look easy. I like it that way." After 10 games, Rask's pace is similar to the numbers that Tim Thomas ended up with during Boston's run to the Stanley Cup in 2011. Rask currently has a .930 save percentage and a 2.19 GAA and he has been a difference maker at key times during the playoffs. He hasn't give up much against the Rangers in Round 2 and continues to build his case to earn a lucrative contract extension in the off-season. May 23 |
| 2 | Anton Khudobin ActiveAnton Khudobin was pulled in Tuesday's loss to Philadelphia after he allowed two goals on 16 shots. Tuukka Rask was beaten three times on 14 shots in relief after starting back-to-back games for the Bruins over the weekend. The Bruins have been comfortable starting Khudobin this season and this effort probably won't change that, as he has been a solid backup to Rask. Apr 23 |
