The Boston Bruins are turning to youngster Ryan Donato in Game 4 versus the Tampa Bay Lightning on Friday night, as the 22-year-old will be back in the lineup, head coach Bruce Cassidy announced.

Additionally, veteran forward Brian Gionta is set to make his postseason debut. Bruins forward Riley Nash won't take part in Game 4.

Donato hasn't played since Game 2 of the opening-round series versus the Toronto Maple Leafs. But following a listless Game 3 loss to the Lightning in their second-round showdown, Cassidy felt the need to shake things up.

Donato didn't make much of an impact in his first career playoff game, but in 12 contests to close out the regular season, he managed nine points.
