David Pastrnak out for Game 3, Jack Studnicka in

Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy promised lineup changes for Game 3, and now we know what they are.

Most significantly, one of them is NOT the return of David Pastrnak, who remains out for a second straight game.

Appearing on NESN's pregame show, Cassidy said Jack Studnicka, Par Lindholm and Connor Clifton all enter the lineup, while Nick Ritchie, Karson Kuhlman and Jeremy Lauzon come out.

This will be Studnicka's first real playoff game. He also played in the round-robin opener against the Flyers, which does technically count as a playoff game.

With Tuukka Rask opting out of the rest of the playoffs, Jaroslav Halak starts in goal, and presumably will every game going forward unless he's physically unable to.

Here is the lineup for Saturday's Game 3, with puck drop set for shortly after 12 p.m.
