Eastern Conference Second Round, Game 1

8pm ET; ESPN, SN, TVAS, CBC

The Bruins propose a plan

Pavel Zacha – Morgan Geekie – David Pastrnak

Brad Marchand – Charlie Coyle – Jake DeBrusk

James van Riemsdyk – Trent Frederic – Justin Brazeau

John Beecher – Patrick Brown – Pat Maroon

Mason Lohrei – Charlie McAvoy

Hampus Lindholm – Brandon Carlo

Jeremy Swayman

Linus Ullmark

Scratched: Jesper Boqvist, Derek Forbort, Matt Grzelcyk, Jakub Lauko, Michael DiPietro

Injured: Andrew Peeke (upper body), Danton Heinen (undisclosed)

Status Report

• Carlo missed the Bruins’ morning skate around the time of his son’s birth, but coach Jim Montgomery said he is “highly optimistic” that Carlo will be in time to play. If he doesn’t, it looks like Forbort will take his place.
• It appears that Brown, who was called up from Providence of the American Hockey League on Sunday, will replace Boqvist as the fourth-line center.
• Heinen, a center, and Peeke, a defenseman, skated again Monday; Montgomery said they are “getting close” but will continue with Game 1.
