Buffalo Sabres left wing Jason Zucker (undisclosed) is considered probable for Tuesday's Game 5 tilt against the Boston Bruins, Heather Engel of NHL.com reports. The veteran forward left Sunday's Game 4 win midway through the third period. However, Zucker doesn't appear to be dealing with a serious injury and is likely to play as Buffalo attempts to finish off Boston on Tuesday. After four games in the series, Zucker is still searching for his first points. He has cooled off following a four-game point streak to end the regular season. Tyson Kozak (undisclosed), who also didn't finish Sunday's contest, is probable for Tuesday as well.

Buffalo Sabres center Josh Norris (undisclosed) might be available on Tuesday night against the Boston Bruins, Heather Engel of NHL.com reports. On Sunday, Norris was unavailable for a second consecutive game after sustaining an undisclosed injury early in the first-round series. He was hot at the end of the regular season, totaling eight points (three goals, five assists) in the last seven games. However, the Bruins have kept him off the score sheet in the playoffs, limiting Norris to two SOG. If he's cleared to play, Norris will compete for a middle-six role and be an option for the power-play units.

Boston Bruins defenseman Nikita Zadorov (undisclosed) is questionable for Game 5 against the Buffalo Sabres on Tuesday, Steve Conroy of The Boston Herald reports. The Russian rearguard wasn't on the ice for Monday's practice and could be unavailable for only the second time this season. Zadorov has contributed one assist in four postseason contests, while averaging four hits per game. Boston will miss his physicality and penalty-killing ability if he isn't available for Game 5. Mason Lohrei, who was a healthy scratch in Sunday's Game 4, could get an opportunity to rejoin the lineup.

Boston Bruins winger Viktor Arvidsson (upper body) didn't practice on Monday and is questionable for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Buffalo Sabres, Steve Conroy of The Boston Herald reports. Arvidsson sustained an upper-body injury in Sunday's Game 4 loss. In the playoffs, the Swedish veteran has tallied two goals in four games, sending 11 pucks on the net. He is carrying a minus-four rating, having finished scoreless three times. Arvidsson has been part of the second line and the second power-play unit in Boston, making him a significant loss for the team if he can't play on Tuesday night.
