Miller not close … Krejci day-to-day
Conor Ryan: Boston Bruins GM Don Sweeney said that defenseman Kevan Miller is still week-to-week.
Amalie Benjamin: Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy said that forward David Krejci is listed as day-to-day after taking a big hit. He didn’t go through concussion protocol last night.
Boston Bruins: Cassidy on Krejci: “He took a hit from Nash and then they were looking at him…I would rule him as day-to-day for now. It’s not a concussion…he left the game and by the time he was available to come back, the game was over. We’ll see how he is in the morning.”

Injured Sharks
Curtis Pashelka: San Jose Sharks coach Pete DeBoer said that it’s unlikely that forward Joe Pavelski will play tonight. He’s listed as day-to-day.
Forward Micheal Haley is also not likely to play.
Questionable players include Melker Karlsson and Joonas Donskoi.
@Prospects_Watch: Gord Miller on TSN 690 talking about San Jose Sharks defenseman Erik Karlsson: “When his playoffs are over, I think he’s going to go to the hospital and ask for the works, he can barely walk…There isn’t one thing wrong with him, there’s a lot.”
Hyman out six months
Dave McCarthy: Toronto Maple Leafs forward Zach Hyman will be out for six months as he requires surgery for a torn ACL.
“I was able to stand, put pressure on it & skate on it so then it was just dealing with the pain. I didn’t know what it was at the time, that probably helped.”
