Marchand considered day-to-day
Brad Marchand (upper body) is still considered day-to-day ahead of Game 5 versus the Panthers on Tuesday, Conor Ryan of The Boston Globe reports. Marchand skated Monday morning and will travel with the team to Florida. He sat out Sunday’s 3-2 loss to the Panthers in Game 4 after being injured during Friday’s 6-2 defeat in Game 3 of Boston’s second-round series. It’s currently unclear if Marchand will be available for Tuesday’s must-win contest. He has racked up three goals and 10 points in 10 outings this postseason.
Three straight wins for Bobrovsky
Sergei Bobrovsky made 16 saves on 18 shots in Sunday’s 3-2 win over Boston in Game 4. It was another light workload for the Russian netminder — this was the third consecutive matchup that Boston has failed to top 18 shots on goal, and also the third straight game in which Bobrovsky allowed two or fewer goals. Bobrovsky was beaten twice in the first period but kept the door shut over the final 40 minutes of the contest. Overall this postseason, Bobrovsky is 7-2 with a 2.55 GAA and an .892 save percentage. Bob and the Panthers will attempt to eliminate the Bruins in Game 5 on Tuesday.
