Florida Panthers DFS SPIN
Sam Bennett (undisclosed) didn’t participate in Tuesday’s morning practice, David Dwork of Local 10 Miami reports. When asked about Bennett and Ryan Lomberg (undisclosed), who also missed Tuesday’s practice, coach Paul Maurice said he expects one to play and one to be a game-time decision for Wednesday’s Game 5 versus Boston. Bennett’s picked up two goals and an assist through three postseason appearances this year.
Boston Bruins DFS SPIN
Patrice Bergeron (upper body) is “feeling good,” but he’ll wait to see how he feels Wednesday morning before a decision on his status for the evening’s Game 5 matchup with Florida is made, Fluto Shinzawa of The Athletic reports. Although Bergeron said he doesn’t anticipate any setbacks, it wouldn’t be surprising to see his status for Game 5 boil down to a game-time decision. The Bruins’ captain has yet to play this postseason due to an upper-body injuury.
