Boston Bruins
After the Bruins ruled defenceman Andrew Peeke week-to-week on Tuesday, the team shuffled their defence pairings in Wednesday's morning skate, according to Fluto Shinzawa of The Athletic.
Shinzawa adds that at forward, former Toronto Maple Leaf James van Riemsdyk appears set to make his series debut, with Jakub Lauko coming out. van Riemsdyk had 11 goals and 38 points in 71 games during the regular season. Lauko does not have a point through two games against the Leafs.
The Bruins had three new pairings in their top-six, with recently recalled defenceman Mason Lohrei skating with Charlie McAvoy, Hampus Lindholm paired with Brandon Carlo and Parker Wotherspoon alongside Kevin Shattenkirk. Wotherspoon did not play in either of the first two games of the series.
Matt Grzelcyk, who saw 17:04 of ice time in Game 1 and 18:30 in Game 2, skated as part of the extra pairing with Derek Forbort.
In Game 2, Lindholm opened with McAvoy, Grzelcyk with Carlo and Peeke with Shattenkirk.
Lohrei appeared in 41 games during the regular season, posting four goals and 13 points while averaging 16:57 of ice time. Wotherspoon also played in 41 games, posting eight assists while averaging 17:43.
Grzelcyk had two goals and 11 points in 63 games during the season, averaging 17:35 per game. He went without a point in Games 1 and 2 against Toronto.
Toronto Maple Leafs
Toronto Maple Leafs head coach Sheldon Keefe said Wednesday morning that "there's a chance" that forward William Nylander will play in Game 3 against the Boston Bruins.
Nylander skated on his usual third line with Calle Jarnkrok and Pontus Holmberg, but stuck around for extra work after with projected scratch Noah Gregor, indicating he is likely to miss his third straight playoff game.
Keefe also told reporters Nylander's status will depend on how he responds to the extra work he did.
The Maple Leafs will have star forward Auston Matthews for Game 3 as Keefe confirmed he is good to go after missing Wednesday's morning skate.
Nick Robertson, who skated with Jarnkrok and Holmberg in Games 1 and 2, took Matthews' spot at centre on the top line in the skate, but did not stay out late after the session.
