Bruins Expected Lineup vs. Tampa Bay

The Boston Bruins had full participation in today's morning skate with the exception of Nathan Horton who is still day-to-day, nursing a wrist injury. Claude Julien's group is pretty much fully healthy and should be ready to go come puck drop Thursday night. In this morning's practice the Bruins rushed the same lines from Sunday and Tuesday's games. The only difference is Claude had his playoff defensive pairings skating together.

The expected lineup is as follows:

Brad Marchand-Patrice Bergeron-Tyler Seguin

Milan Lucic-David Krejci-Rich Peverley

Chris Kelly-Carl Soderberg-Jaromir Jagr

Daniel Paille-Gregory Campell-Shawn Thornton

Zdeno Chara-Dennis Seidenberg

Dougie Hamilton-Johnny Boychuk

Andrew Ference-Adam McQuaid

Tuukka Rask/Anton Khudobin

Expected lineup vs. Philadelphia tonight; Additional game notes

Adam McQuaid participated in today's morning skate at the Wells Fargo Arena, the home of the Flyers.  The blue-liner was questionable as to whether or not he would play after sitting out Sunday's game against Florida. McQuaid was banged up Saturday when Matt Cooke of Pittsburgh targeted his lower body on what appeared to be a dirty hit. McQuaid is likely to play.

Assuming McQuaid gets the nod on the back end for Boston, Dougie Hamilton is a likely healthy scratch. Hamilton has played more games than any other Bruin this season, playing in 32 tilts during the NHL lockout. Post season success hinges on how effective the rookie can be. Rest will keep him sharp.

Anton Khudobin is expected in net. Tuukka Rask has played in two cosecutive.

Nathan Horton will sit this one out. He is nursing a wrist injury.

Claude Julien rolled the same lines from Sunday this morning. The projected lineup is as follows:

Marchand-Bergeron-Seguin
Lucic-Krejci-Peverley
Kelly-Soderberg-Jagr
Paille-Campell-Thornton

Chara-Boychuk
Bartkowski-Seidenberg
Ference-McQuaid

Khudobin/Rask
