Eller (lower-body) will be a game-time decision for Game 4 vs. the Bruins.

Eller missed Game 3 after suffering a lower-body injury in Game 2. Eller was on the ice for Friday's game-day skate, centring the third line and seeing PP2 time. Both are good signs that he will be available for Game 4 but he is officially listed as a game-time decision again.

The Blackhawks have signed Henrik Borgström to a two-year deal worth $2.0 million ($1.0M AAV).

Borgström was a first-round pick (No.23 overall) in 2016 and was traded to Chicago in the deal that sent Lucas Wallmark and Lucas Carlsson to the Panthers. Borgström spent the 2021 season in Finland, where he had 11 goals and 10 assists (21 points) in 30 games. In 58 career NHL games with Florida, the 23-year-old has tallied nine goals and 10 assists (19 points).

Backstrom (lower-body) will play Tuesday vs. the Bruins.

Backstrom missed Saturday's game vs. the Flyers but will play tonight vs. the Bruins. This game doesn't matter for Washington but they will not give the veteran another night of rest. Since the start of April, Backstrom has two goals with 14 assists (16 points) in 19 games.
