SUNRISE, Fla. — Patrice Bergeron did not travel with the Bruins here for Games 3 and 4, but according to coach Jim Montgomery, the Bruins’ captain is “likely” to play in Game 5 when the series shifts back to Boston.
Meanwhile, goalie Linus Ullmark did not participate in the morning skate at Florida Live Arena and Montgomery termed him a “game-time decision.” What Ullmark’s issue is was not clear. When asked if Ullmark was still feeling the effects of the lower body injury he suffered in the second to last game of the season against Washington when he had to pull himself out of the game in the third period, Montgomery said “I don’t believe so, no.”
If Ullmark can’t go, that would mean Jeremy Swayman will get his first start of the playoffs. Brandon Bussi is here as the third goalie.
