There’s also a strong possibility Matt Grzelcyk, who was a healthy scratch the first two games, will be in the lineup for Game 3.īruins left wing Brad Marchand celebrates his goal against the Florida Panthers during Game 2 of their playoff series Wednesday night in Boston. If Montgomery does make a goalie change, there’s no drop off for the Bruins with Jeremy Swayman. Boston’s Game 2 loss had nothing to do with Linus Ullmark, so it’s likely he’ll get the nod again in Game 3. Normally during the playoffs, a team will change goaltenders only after the starter has dropped two consecutive games. As far as goaltending, it’s not time to point the finger.

Since there were so many turnovers in the defensive end for Boston, it’s a strong possibility defenseman Matt Grzelcyk, who was a healthy scratch the first two games, could be in the lineup for Game 3. Even though he did skate on his own prior to the Bruins’ optional skate Wednesday morning, he remains questionable for Game 3. In fact, the Panthers held a slight edge in faceoffs won (41-35) without Bergeron’s presence on the dot. It doesn’t help that captain Patrice Bergeron missed his second consecutive game because of an undisclosed injury. “It makes me think of changes everywhere,” he said. Montgomery didn’t hesitate when asked postgame if he would consider lineup changes. Our work ethic was there, but our execution wasn’t great.” Lineup changes coming? We’ve got to look at the tape, get better and execute better. 1 lesson you learn is how hard it is to win in the playoffs,” Montgomery said.
