Bruins make significant lineup changes for Game 5

The Boston Bruins have their backs up against the wall this evening and will need in win in Game 5 of their first round playoff series against the Buffalo Sabres if they want to continue their season.

The Bruins are down 3-1 to the Sabres and could be hitting the links in short order if they can't pull of a W tonight.

With that in mind, Bruins head coach Marco Sturm has made a number of lineup changes.

First up, it appears that the team has called up goaltender Michael DiPietro to act as a third goaltender behind Jeremy Swayman and Joonas Korpisalo.

Defenseman Jordan Harris is out and Henri Jokiharju is in.

Additionally, Viktor Arvidsson is out. He'll be replaced by either Michael Eyssimont or Alex Steves, with a decision to come after warmups.
