Bruins’ D-men McAvoy, Lindholm out for Game 5
RALEIGH, N.C. — Boston Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy stated his crew will once more be with out defensemen Charlie McAvoy and Hampus Lindholm for Tuesday evening’s Recreation 5 of its first-round playoff collection towards the Carolina Hurricanes.
McAvoy was a late scratch for Sunday’s Recreation 4 win due to COVID-19 protocols. Lindholm hasn’t performed since being leveled on a jarring shoulder-to-chest hit from Carolina’s Andrei Svechnikov within the Recreation 2 loss. Cassidy stated Lindholm did not journey to North Carolina for Recreation 5.
McAvoy and Lindholm labored collectively as Boston’s prime defensive pairing in Recreation 1 earlier than Cassidy juggled the lineup for Recreation 2, transferring Matt Grzelcyk as much as play alongside McAvoy and placing Lindholm alongside Brandon Carlo.
Each groups are unbeaten on residence ice in a collection tied at 2-2.
