BOSTON — Nikitia Zadorov was in the Bruins lineup after all.
Marco Sturm had been cagey about a mystery injury on defense going into the game and it really did come down to a game-time decision.
The Bruins had seven defensemen on the ice during pregame as both Jordan Harris and Henri Jokiharju warmed up.
But Jordan Harris entered the lineup on defense after playing just eight regular season games replacing Mason Lohrei. Jokiharju was Zadorov insurance.
As expected, Lukas Reichel replaced James Hagens on the third line with Fraser Minten and Marat Khusnutdinov.
Sturm said even within the lineup, he had a Plan B to change lines if he didn't like the way the game started.
