Lightning's McDonagh returns after 3-game absence

Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Ryan McDonagh is in the lineup for Game 5 against the Boston Bruins after missing three contests with an undisclosed injury, the team announced.

The Lightning opted to go with seven defensemen in the contest.

McDonagh recorded 12 regular-season points in 50 games, and he's added three assists in nine playoff matchups. He leads all Lightning players in average postseason time on ice, and only Victor Hedman averaged more regular-season minutes.
