h-line center.That hole in the lineup is being filled by Kaspars Daugavins in Game 4 of the conference final Friday at TD Garden (NBCSN, CBC, RDS). But filling Campbell's role on the team will be done by committee."You don't replace a guy like Gregory Campbell by putting another guy in there," coach Claude Julien said Friday morning. "He brings a lot. When you lose a guy like him, you realize the hole that he's left.”Daugavins had not played since Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals against the Toronto Maple Leafs on May 1. He stepped into a game when the Bruins can advance to the Stanley Cup Final with a victory."I'm so excited,Phoenix Coyotes Authentic Jersey," Daugavins said beforehand. "It's hard to watch games from up top; it's easier to play than watch. I've been waiting for this moment all playoffs, pretty much, and this is what I want to do. I want to be on the ice and help the team."Daugavins did not appear to be stepping directly into Campbell's spot on the team, according to the lines used by Julien at Friday's morning skate.Daugavins was lined up on the left wing of the third line opposite Tyler Seguin, with Rich Peverley sliding over from his usual spot at left wing to play center. Chris Kelly, who has centered Boston's third line for the entire postseason, was moved down to fill Campbell's role as center of the fourth line with Shawn Thornton and Daniel Paille on the wings.By moving veteran Kelly into Campbell's spot, made possible by Peverley's ability to play center and his strength in the faceoff circle, Julien was able to maintain the ability to roll all four forward lines, a major part of his team's identity and strength."I think that's been the goal for us all playoffs and it shouldn't change now," Paille said. "Hopefully we can get all four lines rolling again and continue to play like we have been."

Much like Boston's top line of David Krejci, Milan Lucic and Nathan Horton, the "Merlot Line" has gone essentially unchanged since the team's 2011 Stanley Cup run."Those guys [Campbell, Thornton and Paille] have played extremely well. Whoever plays with them has to know their strengths, and work with their strengths and go out there and make it as easy a change as possible," Kelly said. "They've had [Campbell] for so long, whoever goes out there with them needs to know that."The loss of Campbell on the penalty kill -- where he was Julien's most-used forward in the playoffs -- would be mitigated by Daugavins, who has played in that situation in the past and has the skills to be successful there."[Daugavins] skates extremely well,Anaheim Ducks Authentic Jersey, gets on the forecheck,Victor Hedman Authentic Jersey, makes smart plays, plays all three zones and he's got pretty good hands," Kel
