Lines, roster updates and starting goaltenders for Bruins-Canes Game 3
The Boston Bruins and Carolina Hurricanes are getting set for game three of their Eastern Conference Quarterfinal playoff series.
The Hurricanes took games one and two of the series back in Raleigh thanks to convincing 5-1 and 5-2 wins. When you factor in their regular-season matchups, that's five straight wins for the Canes over the B's.
In those five games, the Bruins have been outscored 26-4, as they continue to struggle with the fast-paced game the Canes keep throwing at them.
Hurricanes head coach Rod Brind'Amour doesn't like to change lineups after a win so expect the same in front of the rookie goaltender.
Bruce Cassidy is reuniting "The Perfection Line" with Brad Marchand, Patrice Bergeron and David Pastrnak. Mike Reilly will be slotting into Hampus Lindholm's spot, and Chris Wagner will be on the fourth line. Trent Frederic will be a healthy scratch.
Rookie goaltender Jeremy Swayman will also be starting his first career playoff game in place of Linus Ullmark.

Marchand - Bergeron - Pastrnak
