The Bruins May Make a Surprising Healthy Scratch

Patrice Bergeron - who hasn't appeared in the playoffs - will be a game time decision for game 5, but if the captain's in, who's the odd man out?

According to Fluto Shinzawa of The Athletic, the Bruins could make a surprising choice on who to sit.

Based on line rushes from Wednesday morning, rookie Jakub Lauko would draw in, and deservedly so. The youngster has one assist in two games against the Panthers.

On the other hand, Frederic has no points, with a -1 rating. The 25-year-old has yet to find the score sheet in 8 career playoff games.

There's also reports that Montgomery may decide to sit Frederic because he doesn't see him as a 4th line forward anymore.
