*Shane Hnidy will suit up for the first time in the series taking the place of Andrew Ference. Ference apparently re-injured himself during game three.

I will leave you with some quotes from the coach and captain tonight. They are talking about the effort needed and overall importance of game four.
"When you're down 2-1 in a series, it's really important that you come to play tonight and that you play your best game possible," said Claude Julien. "Everything becomes more important. We don't want to go back home down 3-1. Those are the consequences we face tonight."
"When we played teams like Montreal or the Rangers, we were more intense and more emotionally involved," Zdeno Chara said. "We have to bring that same level."
I agree with Big Z, it is time to bring the intensity level up as if they were playing a team like New York or Montreal. If Boston doesn't, look for Carolina to continue their dominance.
