Status report

Boqvist returns to center Boston’s fourth line after Brown replaced him for Game 1. “He was nursing some things,” Bruins coach Jim Montgomery said. “He’s good to go tonight.” … Heinen, a center, and Peeke, a defenseman, skated again Wednesday morning, but remain out. … The Panthers will dress the same lineup they used in a 5-1 loss in Game 1 on Monday. ... Bennett is expected to return when the series moves to Boston for Games 3 and 4; the center has been out two weeks after being injured against the Tampa Bay Lightning in Game 2 of the first round.

Status report

Henrique, a forward who moved to the top line at the start of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, won't play Game 1 and is day to day. … Janmark will move up from the fourth line, though Oilers coach Kris Knoblauch said there will be a "committee" rotation used in that spot as the game goes on. Brown comes into the lineup after being a healthy scratch all five games of the first round. … Pettersson missed practice on Tuesday with an illness but will play. … Demko, a goalie injured late in Game 1 against the Nashville Predators in the first round, is skating but is still listed as week to week and it remains uncertain if he could return in the second round.
