Coyle will be ready for the playoffs but is expected to miss the final two games of the season. With Coyle out, the Bruins will likely get a look at Ondrej Kase, who has missed almost all of 2021.
Coyle is day-to-day with an upper-body injury, so look for Karson Kuhlman to replace him in the lineup. Coyle should be considered questionable for Saturday's rematch vs. the Rangers.
It will be MacDonald's first game since April 14th, as he replaces Dan Renouf in the lineup in San Jose. MacDonald has tallied one goal with six assists (seven points) in 29 games this season.
The Rangers are eliminated from playoff contention and only have three games remaining, so Lindgren will sit out for the remainder. Lindgren, who has been out since April 29th, finishes the season with 16 points (1G / 15A) in 51 games.
Wagner was absent from Friday's practice after leaving Thursday's game with an undisclosed injury. With Wagner out, Karson Kuhlman will play for the first time since April 11th.
Colorado head coach Jared Bednar did not have an update on Girard's status postgame, so it's unclear what his status is heading into Saturday. With Ryan Graves also getting hurt in the game, the Avalanche may have to turn to an emergency recall to serve as their No.6 defenseman on Saturday.
