Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy shook up his lineup for Game 2 of the Eastern Conference first round Saturday by scratching forward Marcus Johansson, who it was revealed before game time fell ill.
With Jake DeBrusk healthy enough to play after missing practice Friday, and Cassidy deciding the Bruins missed David Backes during their 4-1 Game 1 loss, someone had to come out. Johansson didn't have a point in Game 1 and had three points (one goal, two assists) in 10 games after he was acquired from the New Jersey Devils at the NHL trade deadline on Feb. 25.
The Bruins lineup like this to start Game 2
Brad Marchand -- Patrice Bergeron -- David Pastrnak
Jake DeBrusk -- David Krejci -- Karson Kuhlman
Danton Heinen -- Charlie Coyle -- David Backes
Joakim Nordstrom -- Noel Acciari -- Chris Wagner
Zdeno Chara -- Charlie McAvoy
Torey Krug -- Brandon Carlo
Matt Grzelcyk -- Conor Clifton
Tuukka Rask
