Another day off.
Welcome to a new week, folks!
The Bruins and Leafs won’t resume their series until tomorrow night, so we’re stuck here talking to each other for another day.
In practice news, Austin Matthews reportedly didn’t practice for the Leafs on Monday, while Brad Marchand and Danton Heinen didn’t practice for the B’s.
The latter players missed out due to maintenance, but Matthews’ absence may be more concerning due to the fact that he had to leave Game 4 due to illness.
In happy news for the Bruins, Justin Brazeau was a regular participant in practice this morning and will be available tomorrow.
Montgomery: Maintenance days for Marchand and Heinen.
Brazeau and Forbort are options to play tomorrow.

I cannot see why Montgomery would even consider putting Derek Forbort in the lineup in the middle of this series after he has been out for so long, but what do I know?
In tonight’s action, the Panthers will try to close out the Lightning again, while the Stars and Golden Knights will face off in Game 4.
What else is on tap for today?
