Heinen in, Wingels out for Bruins in Game 7

Bruce Cassidy is going back to his original lineup for Game 7.

The Boston Bruins head coach reinserted Danton Heinen at Wednesday's morning skate and removed Tommy Wingels, with the forward lines looking like this:

LW C RW
Brad Marchand Patrice Bergeron David Pastrnak
Jake DeBrusk David Krejci Rick Nash
Danton Heinen Riley Nash David Backes
Tim Schaller Sean Kuraly Noel Acciari

No changes will be made on defense, for which the pairings will be as follows:

LD RD
Zdeno Chara Charlie McAvoy
Torey Krug Kevan Miller
Matt Grzelcyk Adam McQuaid

Heinen played in the first five games of the first-round series against the Toronto Maple Leafs before being taken out for Game 6, which the Bruins lost 3-1 on Monday night.

The 22-year-old rookie has been held without a point in the playoffs after posting 16 goals and 47 points during the regular season.

Rick Nash will move back up to the second line after playing on the third line in Game 6.
