Storylines: There could be a game-time decision on the 12th forward spot. Jordan Caron and Shawn Thornton alternated shifts on the fourth line during the morning skate… Patrice Bergeron missed Tuesday’s practice, but participated in today’s morning skate. Bergeron might be limited on faceoffs once more. If so, Rich Peverley will take the draws… If the Bruins win tonight, they will have to wait until tomorrow’s results to determine their second-round opponent. They cannot play New Jersey… Stephen Walkom and Eric Furlatt will be the referees. Greg Devorski and Steve Barton will be the linesmen.
