Boston Bruins forward Ryan Donato is getting his first taste of the NHL postseason Saturday, as the team confirmed before puck drop.
The 22-year-old is taking the place of the injured Tommy Wingels in Game 2. Wingels left Thursday's game against the Toronto Maple Leafs after taking a vicious hit from Nazem Kadri, which earned the Maple Leafs center a three-game suspension.
