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.
