It's do-or-die for the Bruins, down 3-2 to the Blues in the Stanley Cup Final with Game 6 tonight in St. Louis.

There will be a change for the Bruins, as forward Karson Kuhlman will be inserted into tonight's lineup. Kuhlman will replace David Backes' usual spot on the second line, as Backes will sit out his second straight game.

Per #NHLBruins coach Bruce Cassidy, Karson Kuhlman is in tonight. Will go back to six defensemen, so Steven Kampfer is out. pic.twitter.com/XWHKIpc3os
