CHICAGO – Good morning from the United Center, where the Bruins will attempt to tie the series at 1-1 tonight.

It’s unknown whether Nathan Horton (upper body) will be available tonight. Horton was injured during first overtime of Game 1. Horton most likely re-aggravated the injury he suffered on April 20 during a fight with Jarome Iginla.


Horton practiced yesterday. For now, we’ll assume Horton will play tonight.

Storylines: Torey Krug practiced alongside Adam McQuaid in his usual third-pairing spot yesterday. Krug projects to remain in tonight’s lineup. The Bruins expect Krug to shrug off the third-period turnover in Game 1 that led to Chicago’s second goal… If Horton can’t play, Tyler Seguin will move up to the first line. Carl Soderberg could make his NHL playoff debut. Soderberg took shifts centering the third line between Daniel Paille and Rich Peverley yesterday… The Bruins will remain in Chicago after tonight’s game. They are scheduled to return to Boston tomorrow… Wes McCauley and Dan O’Halloran will be the referees. Jay Sharrers and Pierre Racicot will be the linesmen.
