Bruins' Derek Forbort: Unlikely to play in Game 3
Forbort (undisclosed) likely won't be an option for Game 3 against Toronto on Wednesday, per Conor Ryan of The Boston Globe.
Forbort, who is day-to-day, is still listed on long-term injured reserve. He will travel with the team to Toronto, so a return to action for Game 4 on Saturday could be a possibility. Andrew Peeke (finger) is week-to-week after being injured in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Maple Leafs, which could lead to Parker Wotherspoon or Mason Lohrei getting into Wednesday's lineup.

Bruins' Andrew Peeke: Won't travel to Toronto
Peeke (finger) will not make the trip to Toronto for Game 3 or 4 and is officially considered week-to-week, ESPN's Kristen Shilton reports Tuesday.
Peeke recorded just one point in his last 15 games, so few fantasy players will be impacted by his absence. With Derek Forbort (undisclosed) having been recalled from a conditioning assignment with AHL Providence, he could be in line to replace Peeke in the lineup for Game 3 on Wednesday. Mason Lohrei was also called up from the minors and could be in the mix for minutes due to Peeke's absence.

Bruins' Mason Lohrei: Recalled from minors
Lohrei was recalled from AHL Providence on Tuesday, per Conor Ryan of The Boston Globe.
Lohrei has played 41 games with the big club this season, registering four goals and nine assists to go along with 43 shots on goal. The 23-year-old could play in Game 3 versus Toronto on Wednesday as Andrew Peeke (finger) and Derek Forbort (undisclosed) are both dealing with injuries. If he gets into Game 3, Lohrei will likely either play on the second or third defensive pairing.

Bruins' Morgan Geekie: Opens scoring in defeat
Geekie scored a power-play goal on his lone shot in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Maple Leafs.
Geekie opened the scoring midway through the first period, ripping a Brad Marchand feed into an open net to give Boston a 1-0 lead. The 25-year-old Geekie is coming off a solid debut campaign in Boston -- he posted 17 goals and 39 points, both career highs, across 76 games, though he was held to just one goal and five points over his final 13 contests.

Bruins' David Pastrnak: Scores in Game 2 loss
Pastrnak scored a goal on three shots in Monday's 3-2 loss to Toronto.
Pastrnak put Boston ahead 2-1 with eight seconds remaining in the first period, one-timing a Pavel Zacha feed from the slot. It's the first goal and the second point for Pastrnak in the playoffs after he tallied 47 goals and 110 points in the regular season.

Bruins' Andrew Peeke: Suffers finger injury
Peeke was unavailable for the third period of Game 2 against the Leafs on Monday due to an apparent finger injury, Jim McBride of the Boston Globe reports.
Peeke managed just 10:20 of ice time before being forced out of Monday's contest. If the defenseman is unavailable for Game 3 on Wednesday, Parker Wotherspoon might draw into the lineup. It's also possible Derek Forbort (undisclosed) will be activated off long-term injured reserve before the clash against Toronto.

Bruins' Pavel Zacha: Lone helper not enough in Game 2
Zacha added an assist in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Maple Leafs for Game 2 of the conference quarterfinals.
Zacha roused the home crowd with a spinning backhand pass to David Pastrnak for a one-timer that goalie Ilya Samsonov had virtually no chance of stopping. Unfortunately for Bruins fans, the top-line center was otherwise quiet in the contest, and Zacha's full minute on the man advantage didn't bear fruit. This is the lone playoff series with the teams tied 1-1 after two games.

Bruins' Brandon Bussi: Back with big club
Bussi was promoted from AHL Providence on Monday, per CapFriendly.
Bussi was recalled to serve as the third goalie behind Linus Ullmark and Jeremy Swayman. Bussi posted a .913 save percentage with AHL Providence this season but has yet to make his NHL debut.

Bruins' Linus Ullmark: Falls to Toronto
Ullmark allowed three goals on 33 shots in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Maple Leafs in Game 2.
Ullmark was solid Monday, but an Auston Matthews goal on a breakaway in the third period would ultimately stick the 30-year-old netminder with a one-goal loss. Ullmark went 22-10-7 with a .915 save percentage and 2.58 GAA in the regular season. It appears that Boston will continue to alternate him and Jeremy Swayman in the playoffs, lining up Ullmark for a road start in Game 4 on Saturday.

Bruins' Linus Ullmark: Tending twine Monday
Ullmark will start Game 2 at home against Toronto on Monday, Chris Johnston of The Athletic reports.
Boston will continue to alternate between Ullmark and Jeremy Swayman as they did for most of the regular season. Ullmark is 6-4-1 with a .923 save percentage since the start of March, though he ended the regular season with a loss against Ottawa. For the season, he went 22-10-7 with a 2.58 GAA in 40 appearances.

Bruins' Justin Brazeau: Ruled out for Leafs series
Brazeau (upper body) will not be available until after the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs, Conor Ryan of The Boston Globe reports Monday.
Brazeau has already missed seven straight contests due to his upper-body injury. Once given the all-clear, Brazeau should challenge John Beecher for a spot in the lineup, though James van Riemsdyk figures to also be in the mix for minutes. In his limited NHL action this year, the 26-year-old Brazeau generated five goals on 31 shots, two assists and 43 hits in 19 games.

Bruins' Derek Forbort: Won't play Monday
Forbort (undisclosed) will not be in action versus Toronto on Monday but will travel with the team for Games 3 and 4, Conor Ryan of The Boston Globe reports.
Forbort was just brought back up from a conditioning stint in the minors, so it shouldn't come as a surprise to see him being slowly reintegrated into the team. Even once fully up to speed, the veteran defenseman is far from a lock for the lineup, though Andrew Peeke is the most likely candidate to be scratched in favor of Forbort, who will need to be activated from long-term injured reserve to officially be eligible to play.

Bruins' Derek Forbort: Returning from conditioning stint
Forbort (undisclosed) was called up from his conditioning stint with AHL Providence on Monday, Mark Divver of the New England Hockey Journal reports.
Forbort saw action in a pair of AHL contests while with Providence, his first time suiting up in the minors since 2019-20. With the 32-year-old blueliner back on the NHL roster, he could get into a playoff game for the Bruins, though it seems unlikely coach Jim Montgomery will want to change anything up ahead of the Game 2 considering the Bruins won 5-1 in the first contest.

Bruins' Brandon Bussi: Dropped to AHL
Bussi was assigned to AHL Providence on Sunday.
Bussi served as Boston's emergency netminder in Saturday's playoff opener against Toronto. He has posted a 23-10-5 record this season with a 2.67 GAA and a .913 save percentage in 40 AHL outings.

Bruins' Jesper Boqvist: Offers helper in win
Boqvist notched an assist, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Maple Leafs in Game 1.
Boqvist had one goal over his last 11 regular-season appearances. Beyond that the 25-year-old was limited to 14 points, 51 shots on net and 71 hits over 47 contests this season. He'll likely see most of his minutes in a fourth-line role during the playoffs, but Boqvist is not guaranteed a spot in the lineup.

Bruins' Patrick Maroon: First helper with new team
Maroon logged an assist and six hits in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Maple Leafs in Game 1.
The helper was Maroon's first point in three outings as a Bruin. The 35-year-old, a three-time Stanley Cup champion, is set to occupy a fourth-line role this postseason as a hard-working veteran. He is also seeing time alongside David Pastrnak on the power play. Maroon had 16 points, 82 hits and 60 PIM over 51 regular-season appearances between Boston and Minnesota.
