The Boston Bruins are back to full strength up front for the first time in their first-round playoff series against the Florida Panthers.

Second-line center David Krejci will make his return to the lineup in Friday night's Game 6 at FLA Live Arena. Krejci played the first two games in Boston but has missed the last three because of an upper body injury. The B's have a 3-2 series lead.

Here's what the Bruins' lines will look like to begin Game 6:

Jakub Lauko and Trent Frederic are the healthy scratches at forward. Connor Clifton is in the lineup in place of Matt Grzelcyk.

Friday night will be the first time in the series that Boston has its top two centers in the lineup. First-line center Patrice Bergeron made his series debut in Game 5.
