Riley Nash is ready to go.

The Boston Bruins forward suited up for Game 3 against the Toronto Maple Leafs after missing the first two games of the series due to a head injury.

Nash sustained the injury against the Florida Panthers on March 31 after an errant point shot struck his ear. The veteran forward required more than 40 stitches as a result and was later sidelined for the final five games of the regular season.

Through 76 games this season, Nash tallied 15 goals and 26 assists.
