The Boston Bruins and Toronto Maple Leafs are battling out in a series that has come down to a best two out of three, with the first contest of this last stretch on tonight. 

The Burins held a morning skate today ahead of the pivotal game and head coach Bruce Cassidy met with reporters after to give as many updates as he could on his roster for the night. 

It appears that the lineup for Game 5 remains to be confirmed as forward Sean Kuraly has been termed a game-time decision for Friday's crucial tilt with the Maple Leafs.

"He's progressing well," said Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy. "Then we'll see if he gets cleared in the morning and off he goes. If he's healthy and cleared, he'll go in."


If Kuraly is set to return, just as Marcus Johansson and John Moore did on Wednesday night, Joakim Nordstrom is expected to be a healthy scratch for the contest. 

Kuraly has not played since March 21 in New Jersey when he fractured his right hand after blocking a shot. His speed and energy would come in handy for the Bruins in the last stretch of the first series.
