Panthers pick Lyon to start Game 1 of playoffs vs. Boston
Alex Lyon started this season in the American Hockey LeagueAPRIL 17, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Patrice Bergeron - In doubt Monday Bergeron (upper body) is under the weather and will be a game-time decision against the Panthers for Game 1 on Monday, Fluto Shinzawa of The Athletic reports.
Impact Bergeron is one of a handful of guys dealing with an illness going through the team, though coach Jim Montgomery didn't name any other impacted players. The team will get David Krejci (lower body) back, which should bolster their top six if Bergeron can't give it a go. For his part, Bergeron will be the top-line and No. 1 power-play unit as soon as he gets into the lineup.

David Krejci - Officially suiting up Krejci (lower body), as expected, will suit up for Game 1 against the Panthers on Monday, Conor Ryan of Boston.com reports.
Impact Krejci returns following a six-game stint on the shelf due to his lower-body issue. With Patrice Bergeron (upper body/illness) questionable to play Monday, the 36-year-old Krejci's return to action will help the Bruins avoid going too far down their center depth. Prior to his absence, Krejci was missed in a five-game goal drought during which he recorded a meager eight shots and earned one assist.
APRIL 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Derek Forbort - Playing against Panthers Forbort (lower body) will return to the lineup versus Florida in Game 1 on Monday, Conor Ryan of Boston.com reports.
Impact Forbort will be back in the lineup for the first time since March 16 against Winnipeg, a stretch of 15 games on long-term injured reserve. Considering the blueliner has just one assist in his last 10 contests, fantasy players probably shouldn't be expecting much in the way of offensive production out of Forbort.

Jeremy Swayman - Game-time decision Swayman (illness) is expected to be a game-time decision for Game 1 against Florida on Monday after taking part in Bruins' optional morning skate, WBZ Boston Sports reports.
Impact Swayman and Linus Ullmark (illness) are both under the weather, so a starter for Monday's series opener may not be determined until closer to game time. The Bruins recalled netminder Brandon Bussi from AHL Providence on Monday under emergency conditions.
APRIL 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Linus Ullmark - Game-time call Ullmark (illness) will be a game-time decision for Game 1 against Florida on Monday, WBZ Boston Sports reports.
Impact A bug is going around the Bruins' locker room ahead of the team's playoff opener. Ullmark and Jeremy Swayman, who took part in Boston's optional morning skate Monday, are both feeling under the weather. As a result, a starting goalie for Game 1 against the Panthers hasn't been decided yet. The Bruins recalled netminder Brandon Bussi from AHL Providence on Monday under emergency conditions.
APRIL 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Brandon Bussi - Up with Boston Bussi was recalled from AHL Providence on Monday.
Impact Bussi was brought up to serve as the third goalie for the purposes of emergency, according to the Bruins. However, there's a chance that he could suit up in Game 1 against Florida on Monday because netminders Linus Ullmark (illness) and Jeremy Swayman (illness) are both considered game-time decisions for Boston's playoff opener.
APRIL 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Nick Foligno - Could return Monday Foligno (lower body) is considered a "strong possibility" to play in Monday's Game 1 matchup with Florida according to coach Jim Montgomery, Conor Ryan of Boston.com reports.
Impact Foligno has been practicing in a fourth-line role in addition to linking up with the No. 2 power-play unit, so his return to action does appear to be imminent. If the veteran does get back into the lineup for Game 1, it will likely come at the expense of both A.J. Greer and Jakub Lauko, though the team is reportedly dealing with some illness that could shuffle up the lines.
APRIL 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Linus Ullmark - Stops 31 in Game 1 victory Ullmark stopped 31 of 32 shots in Monday's 3-1 win over the Panthers.
Impact Ullmark picked up where he left off in the regular season, allowing just one goal on 32 shots in the series-opening victory. Ullmark, the presumptive Vezina winner, finished the season with a 40-6-1 record and a league-leading .938 save percentage. Ullmark split goaltending duties with Jeremy Swayman for much of the season, so it'll be worth monitoring how Boston elects to utilize their goaltenders in the playoffs.
APRIL 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Tyler Bertuzzi - Two assists in series opener Bertuzzi picked up a pair of assists in Monday's 3-1 win over the Panthers.
Impact Bertuzzi set up David Pastrnak on the power play with a nifty backhanded pass to give Boston an early 1-0 lead in the first period. Bertuzzi would add a second assist on Jake DeBrusk's tally in the second. The 28-year-old Bertuzzi finished the regular season with six assists and seven points in his final four contests. He looks to be carrying his playmaking success into the postseason, further strengthening a potent Bruins' offense.
APRIL 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Brad Marchand - Scores game-winner in opener Marchand scored a goal on four shots in Monday's 3-1 win over Florida.
Impact Marchand gave the Bruins a 2-0 lead early in the second period, firing a wrist shot from deep that deflected off Alex Lyon's glove and into the back of the net. The goal would stand as the game-winner in Boston's eventual 3-1 victory. The veteran winger finished the regular season with 21 goals and 67 points in 73 games.
APRIL 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
David Pastrnak - Opens scoring in Game 1 win Pastrnak scored a power-play goal in Monday's 3-1 win over the Panthers.
Impact Pastrnak opened the scoring 5:58 into the first period, burying a feed from Tyler Bertuzzi on a power play to give the Bruins an early lead. Pastrnak finished the regular season on a ten-game point streak, tallying 12 goals and six assists over that span. The 26-year-old winger posted 61 goals, second only to Connor McDavid, and 113 points over 82 games. He'll be counted on to continue powering Boston's offense as they look to make a deep playoff run.
APRIL 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Nick Foligno - Removed from LTIR Foligno (lower body) was activated from long-term injured Monday, according to the NHL media site.
Impact This paves the way for Foligno, who last played Feb. 28 against Calgary, to return to the lineup in Game 1 versus Florida on Monday. The 35-year-old forward picked up 26 points, 147 hits and 45 PIM in 60 appearances during the 2022-23 campaign. Foligno is projected to play on the fourth line and see power-play time on the second unit.
APRIL 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Linus Ullmark - Guarding cage Monday Ullmark (illness) will get the starting nod for Game 1 against Florida on Monday, Amalie Benjamin of NHL.com reports.
Impact Ullmark was considered a game-time call along with several other Bruins but he'll be between the pipes to begin the postseason. He's been stellar all year, posting a 1.89 GAA and a .938 save percentage with a 40-6-1 record. The 29-year-old stopped 74 of 80 shots while winning both of his starts against the Panthers this season.
APRIL 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Patrice Bergeron - Unavailable Monday Bergeron (upper body) will not suit up for Game 1 against the Panthers on Monday, Amalie Benjamin of NHL.com reports.
Impact Bergeron missed four of the last 10 games of the regular season and tallied just one point in his six appearances during that stretch. The veteran center is also dealing with an illness. An update on his status should be available before Game 2 on Wednesday.
APRIL 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jeremy Swayman - Backing up Swayman (illness) will dress as Linus Ullmark's backup Monday against the Panthers, Matt Porter of The Boston Globe reports.
Impact Swayman was considered a game-time decision due to his illness but he's healthy enough to suit up on the bench. The Bruins will turn to Ullmark to begin their postseason run. Swayman finished the regular season with a strong 2.27 GAA and .920 save percentage through 37 games.
