Reinhart scores lone goal in Game 5 loss
Sam Reinhart scored a goal on eight shots in Tuesday’s 2-1 loss to the Bruins in Game 5. Reinhart has been dialed in with two goals and four assists over five games in the second round. The 28-year-old is up to five goals, nine points, 46 shots on net, 30 hits and a plus-3 rating over 10 playoff contests. Reinhart has earned just two of his postseason points with the man advantage after collecting 34 of his 94 regular-season points on the power play.
Marchand still questionable
Brad Marchand (upper body) was again labeled day-to-day ahead of Game 6 against the Panthers on Friday, Conor Ryan of The Boston Globe reports. Marchand did practice with the No. 1 power-play unit, which is a good indication that he will be back in the lineup Friday even if coach Jim Montgomery wouldn’t confirm his captain’s status. If given the all-clear, Marchand should immediately reclaim a top-six role, as he looks to end a six-game goal drought that dates back to April 27 versus the Maple Leafs.
