Scandella missed the final game of the regular season and the first two games of the series but will be a game-time decision for Game 3. If he can't play, Steven Santini will dress in Robert Bortuzzo's (upper-body) spot.
Bortuzzo suffered an upper-body injury in Game 2 and will miss Game 3 as a result. Steven Santini will make his season debut if Marco Scandella (game-time decision) can't play.
Leddy will miss his second straight game with an upper-body injury that he suffered in Game 1. With Leddy out, Calle Rosen will remain in the lineup.
Kase missed the morning skate due to a personal matter but head coach Sheldon Keefe expects him to be good to go for Game 3. Kase is expected to skate on the second line with John Tavares and William Nylander.
Liljegren had an xGF% of 38.4 in the first two games of the series, so the Maple Leafs will shake up their third pair for Game 3. Justin Holl will replace him in the lineup.
Holl was a healthy scratch for the first two games of the series but will replace Timothy Liljegren in the lineup for Game 3. Holl had one assist while averaging 21:28 TOI/gm in seven games during last year's postseason.
Simmonds took a couple of bad penalties in Game 2, both of which led to Lightning power-play goals. Simmonds will be replaced by Jason Spezza.
Spezza was a healthy scratch for the first two games of the series but will replace Wayne Simmonds on the Maple Leafs' fourth line in Game 3. Spezza was solid for the Maple Leafs in the 2021 playoffs, scoring three goals with two assists (five points) in seven games.
With Hampus Lindholm (upper-body) not available for Game 3, Reilly will play in his first game of the series. Reilly skated on the top pair with Charlie McAvoy in the Bruins' morning skate and had 17 points (4G / 13A) in 70 regular-season games.
Frederic failed to record a point with six hits and 14 PIMS while averaging 8:20 TOI/gm in the first two games of the series. Frederic will be replaced by Chris Wagner in the Bruins' bottom-6.
Wagner served as a healthy scratch for the first two games of the series but will replace Trent Frederic in the lineup for Game 3. Wagner only appeared in one NHL regular-season game this season.
Lindgren left Game 1 briefly before finishing the game with 28:44 TOI. He was scratched for Game 2 and his status for Game 3 in Pittsburgh is unclear. Justin Braun will remain in the lineup if Lindgren can't play.
Goodrow missed Game 2 and is expected to miss at least a couple of weeks with a lower-body injury. Dryden Hunt replaced him in the lineup and will likely remain in while Goodrow is sidelined.
