Gabel returns to the lineup after missing the last seven regular season games and the first two of Boston’s postseason. The 26-year-old forward has been out of the lineup since March 16 when she was hit hard into the endboards by Ottawa defender Aneta Tejralova. She registered two shots in 3:26 minutes of ice time before exiting Boston’s 2-1 shootout victory. Gabel had four goals and three assists in 17 games for Boston.
