Game 3, A Statement Game at MSG

The Bruins have a chance to extend their series lead to 3-0 over the Rangers and essentially bury their hopes of going to the Conference Finals.

Last series the Rangers went home down 0-2 and won both games at MSG in a 7 game comeback to make their way into the current round against the Bruins.

From the NESN.com Bruins blog:

1:15 p.m.: The Bruins wrapped up an optional morning skate at Madison Square Garden just a little while ago, and B’s coach Claude Julien offered an update on some of the injured defensemen. Julien said he’d be surprised if Dennis Seidenberg played in Game 3, as the veteran D-man remains out with a lower-body injury. Seidenberg appears to be progressing, but Julien says it looks like Seidenberg isn’t quite there yet.

Wade Redden remains day-to-day for the Bruins as well. He’s been out since the middle of the first-round series with Toronto, and while he’s also progressing in his recovery, his status for Wednesday night is still up in the air.
