Jim Montgomery is largely going back to the Bruins’ lineup that won Games 3 and 4 against the Maple Leafs in Toronto, but an injury will take one middle-six forward out of the equation for Game 6 on Thursday night.
Montgomery ruled out Danton Heinen, listing the forward as “day to day” moving forward. The writing has been on the wall for the past week that Heinen has been hampered by an injury, as the 28-year-old forward has taken a few maintenance days during this first-round series against Toronto.
Heinen only has one assist in this series, but it was the primary helper on Brad Marchand’s game-winning tally in Game 3.
