Bruins' Bergeron and Krejci Determined to Play Game 5 Despite Series Lead.

Despite the Bruins' commanding 3-1 series lead against the Florida Panthers, head coach Donnie Montgomery has stated that Patrice Bergeron and David Krejci will play in Game 5 if they are cleared by doctors. The Bruins have been without Bergeron for all four games, but Montgomery has higher hopes for him playing than Krejci. The Bruins' improved play from their blue line corps, particularly Charlie McAvoy, Hampus Lindholm, and Dmitry Orlov, has helped them secure their lead. David Pastrnak was quiet in Game 4, and Linus Ullmark, who is now 3-1, was receiving treatment after the game. Panthers forwards Matthew Tkachuk and Sam Bennett acquired "villain" status for their chippy play in Game 4.
