Line Change

Suspension
The NHL has suspended Sam Bennett for one game for boarding Blake Coleman in Game 1.
Bennett was issued a two-minute minor penalty on the play but was slapped with a one-game suspension on Monday. This is a huge loss for the Panthers, who will likely need to lean on Alexander Wennberg more heavily in Game 2. Including Game 1, Bennett has scored six goals with 11 assists (17 points) in 11 games with Florida.
Gadjovich will make his NHL debut on Sunday.
Nosek (undisclosed) returns to the Golden Knights lineup in Game 1 vs.s the Wild.
Bennett (undisclosed) is expected to play in Game 1 vs. the Lightning.
Goalie Start
Bobrovsky will start Game 1 vs. the Lightning.
Marchand (rest) will not play on Tuesday.
Marchand is one of 16 regulars who will not be in the Bruins lineup on Tuesday. The Bruins will need to recall multiple players from their taxi squad/AHL to fill out their lineup. Zach Senyshyn is one of the players that is expected to draw in and replace Marchand on the wing.
Verhaeghe will return to the Panthers lineup on Monday.
Verhaeghe has been out since April 10th but will play Monday vs. the Lightning. Verhaeghe, who has 17 goals and 18 assists (35 points) in 42 games, will be back on the top line with Aleksander Barkov and Anthony Duclair.
Bennett is day-to-day and will not play on Monday.
Bennett's absence is probably more maintenance-related ahead of the playoffs. The Panthers called him day-to-day but expect him to be in the lineup for Game 1 of the postseason. Mason Marchment will centre the second line with Bennett out.
Kulikov (lower-body) will not play on Saturday.
Kulikov was missing from Friday's practice and will not play Saturday against Vancouver. Kulikov, who is expected to be ready for the playoffs, will be replaced by William Lagesson in the lineup on Saturday.
Verhaeghe (upper-body) will not play Saturday; expected to be back Monday.
Despite practicing most of the week, Verhaeghe will not play Saturday vs. the Lightning. Head coach Joel Quenneville said that if it were Game 1 of the playoffs that Verhaeghe would be in. With their playoff seed ready locked up, there's no sense rushing Verhaeghe back.
Bennett (upper-body) will return to the Panthers lineup on Saturday.
Bennett missed the Panthers' most recent game (05/03) but will be back on the second line tonight vs. the Lightning. Bennett has been outstanding since arriving in Florida, scoring five goals with eight assists (13 points) in nine games.
Goalie Start
Bobrovsky will start Saturday vs. the Lightning.
Bennett is day-to-day with an upper-body injury.
Bennett will not be available for Monday's game vs. the Stars. This is terrible timing for Bennett, who has been red-hot since being traded to Florida. Alex Wennberg will move up to the second line and Mason Marchment will draw back into the lineup to replace him.
