Bruins Vs. Panthers Game 5: Projected Lines, Defensive Pairings

The Bruins face a 3-1 series deficit and will fight for their season when they play the Panthers in Game 5 at Amerant Bank Arena.

Brad Marchand will not be an option for Boston on Tuesday night. But the Black and Gold hope his presence in Florida can help light a spark and give them "extra motivation" to come back to TD Garden with a chance to come back in the best-of-seven series. The B's are 0-25 all-time when facing a 3-1 series deficit.

Neither team will make changes to their lineup. That's despite the flurry of roster moves the Bruins made Monday and after Sam Reinhart took a puck to the face and left in the third period of Game 4 on Sunday.

Puck drop for Bruins-Panthers Game 5 is scheduled at 7 p.m. ET, and you can catch pregame and postgame coverage on NESN+.
