Patrice Bergeron - Set to return Bergeron (upper body) is expected to play in Wednesday's Game 5 versus the Panthers, Fluto Shinzawa of The Athletic reports.
Impact Bergeron took line rushes on the top line in warmups, which is a good indication he'll make his first appearance of the postseason. The 37-year-old center has played in just four of 11 games for the Bruins in April, but he's been trending in the right direction for a couple of days. Should the Bruins win Wednesday, Bergeron would have a bit of rest before the start of the second round.

Linus Ullmark - In goal for Game 5 Ullmark will patrol the home crease during Wednesday's Game 5 versus Florida, Joe Haggerty of Boston Hockey Now reports.
Impact Ullmark was excellent in Sunday's Game 4, turning aside 41 of 43 shots en route to an impressive 6-2 road victory over the Panthers. He'll try to help propel the Bruins to the second round of the playoffs by picking up a third straight victory, this time at home, against the same Florida team on Wednesday.

Patrice Bergeron - Game-time call Bergeron (upper body) will officially be a game-time decision for Wednesday night's Game 5 versus the Panthers, Joe Haggerty of Boston Hockey Now reports.
Impact Bergeron will go through pregame warmups before a final decision on his status for Wednesday's potentially series-clinching contest is made. The 37-year-old vet has yet to play this postseason due to an upper-body injury.
APRIL 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Kyle Keyser - Summoned by Bruins Keyser was called up by Boston on Wednesday, per Mark Divver of the New England Hockey Journal.
Impact Keyser had a 2.79 GAA and a .900 save percentage in 24 AHL outings with Providence in 2022-23. He's projected to serve as the third-string goaltender for Boston, so he's unlikely to dress unless Linus Ullmark or Jeremy Swayman get hurt.
APRIL 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Brad Marchand - Two-point night in OT loss Marchand had a goal and an assist -- both on the power play -- in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime Game 5 loss to the Panthers.
Impact Marchand has at least one point in every game this series, which the Bruins still lead 3-2 after Wednesday's loss. The proven postseason performer has 124 points in 144 career playoff appearances.
APRIL 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Charlie McAvoy - Wakes up offensively in Game 5 McAvoy had two assists and seven shots in a 4-3 overtime Game 5 loss to the Panthers on Wednesday.
Impact Though the Bruins failed to close out the series Wednesday, McAvoy put together his best performance of the first round. He had just one assist and three shots on goal through the first four games, but Boston still leads the series 3-2 despite the defenseman's struggles.
APRIL 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Linus Ullmark - Gives away Game 5 Ullmark allowed four goals on 25 shots in a 4-3 overtime Game 5 loss to the Panthers on Wednesday.
Impact Ullmark hasn't been outplayed often this season, but that was the case in this one. He had just 21 saves to Sergei Bobrovsky's 44, and Matthew Tkachuk's game-winner 6:05 into overtime came off an Ullmark turnover. Ullmark reversed the puck right onto the stick of Carter Verhaeghe, who found Tkachuk in front, and Florida's leading scorer lifted the puck into the net before Ullmark could scramble back into position. The Bruins have a capable backup in Jeremy Swayman, but the game-losing gaffe likely won't be enough to cost Ullmark his starting spot for Game 6, as the Bruins will try to close out the series again Friday in Florida.

Patrice Bergeron - Lights lamp in series debut Bergeron (upper body) made his series debut in Game 5 against the Panthers on Wednesday. He scored a power-play goal on six shots in the 4-3 overtime loss.
Impact Bergeron looked healthy and managed to tie the score at 2-2 early in the third period, but Boston ultimately fell in overtime. The Bruins had built up a 3-1 series lead without their No. 1 center, and they'll have another opportunity to close out the Panthers on Friday, this time in Florida.

Patrice Bergeron - Feeling positive about return Bergeron (upper body) is "feeling good," but he'll wait to see how he feels Wednesday morning before a decision on his status for the evening's Game 5 matchup with Florida is made,...
Impact Although Bergeron said he doesn't anticipate any setbacks, it wouldn't be surprising to see his status for Game 5 boil down to a game-time decision. The Bruins' captain has yet to play this postseason due to an upper-body injuury.
APRIL 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
David Krejci - Ruled out for Game 5 Krejci (upper body) won't be available for Game 5 against Florida on Wednesday, Conor Ryan of Boston.com reports.
Impact Krejci will miss his third consecutive contest after being a late scratch ahead of Game 3 last Friday. He has picked up one assist and four shots on goal this postseason. Head coach Jim Montgomery said Tuesday that Krejci is "progressing well," and could be ready to play in Game 6 on Friday. Of course, Boston currently leads the best-of-seven series 3-1, so a sixth contest may not be necessary.
APRIL 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Brandon Bussi - Sent down Bussi was assigned to AHL Providence on Tuesday.
Impact Bussi could get a chance to play in the Calder Cup Playoffs. He had been serving as the third goaltender on Boston's roster behind Linus Ullmark and Jeremy Swayman.
