Foegele is expected to be a healthy scratch for Game 4 on Wednesday vs. Dallas.

Foegele was amongst the extras at morning skate on Wednesday indicating he is expected to be a healthy scratch for Game 4 on Wednesday vs. Dallas. The 28-year-old winger has appeared in every game this playoffs for the Oilers, picking up a goal and three points alongside his 22 SOG and -8 plus/minus in 15 games played.

Cousins is expected to be a healthy scratch for Game 4 on Tuesday vs. New York.

Cousins has struggled in this year's playoffs with only an assist in 11 games played and will head to the press box as a healthy scratch for Game 4 as he is replaced by veteran Kyle Okposo. The 30-year-old grinding fourth-liner had seven points in 21 playoff games in 2022-23, but has failed to duplicate his success while on Florida's fourth line this year.

Jensen (concussion) will not play in Game 2 vs. the Rangers.

Jensen has been out since April 13th due to a scary upper-body injury and will miss a second straight playoff game. The 33-year-old shut-down defensemen scored only one goal in 2023-24, with 14 points, 71 SOG, 10 PIMs and a -9 plus/minus in 78 games played.

Ullmark will start Game 2 on Monday vs. the Maple Leafs.

Despite a sparkling 35-save performance from Jeremy Swayman in Game 1, the Bruins will stay committed to their usual rotation in net as Ullmark gets the nod between the pipes in Game 2. Ullmark's last start came last Tuesday against the Senators, where he allowed two goals on just 19 shots in a 3-1 defeat. The reigning Vezina Trophy winner finished his 2023-24 campaign with a 22-10-7 record and a .915 SV% across 40 appearances. He and the Bruins enter action tonight as -140 favourites in Game 2.

Jensen did not play the final two games of the season for the Capitals but could be ready for game one of the Stanley Cup Playoffs on Sunday. The 33-year-old Jensen had 14 points (1G / 13A) and 124 blocks in 78 games this season.

Ullmark will start against the Senators on Tuesday.

The Bruins will turn to Ullmark on Tuesday when they host the Senators in their final game of the regular season. The game picked up some added importance after Boston's 2-0 loss to the Capitals on Monday, with the Bruins now needing to win tonight to guarantee a finish atop the Atlantic Division. Any dropped points would open the door for the Panthers to secure the division title should they be able to win their game tonight against the Maple Leafs. Ullmark enters tonight's action a 25-10-8 record and a .916 SV%. The bookmakers like his chances of securing a victory and the Atlantic Division crown tonight, as the Bruins enter action as -225 favourites over the Sens.

Reimer will start Tuesday in Montreal.

With their playoff hopes on the line, the Red Wings will turn to Reimer on the tail end of a back-to-back set against the Montreal Canadiens. Reimer has only played once this month, a 5-4 overtime win over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday when he saved 32 of 36 shots (.889 SV%). The Red Wings enter action as -186 road favourites.
