Two questions asked during the game:
Why do the Bruins dress two extra for warmups?
It's not unusual for a team to dress an extra player or two when a player in the lineup might not be 100% and the team wants to keep alive the possibility of making a late change due to the health of a player.
It also serves to keep the opposition guessing about injuries, lineup, etc.
Where do players not in the lineup watch the game?
Players not in the lineup watch games from a variety of places: The press box, an auxiliary locker room, or an empty suite.
What happens when a team can win the Cup?
When the Bruins won the Cup in 2011, the extra players started getting into their uniforms late in the third period, so that they could skate with the Cup although they did not play. Their equipment is with the team, of course, because they are practicing with the club.
