The Boston Bruins (2-4-0, 3rd Northeast) know that they're facing an uphill climb as the Toronto Maple Leafs (4-0-1, 1st Northeast) (sidenote: early season stats are fun) come to TD Garden tonight. Phil Kessel returns on another scoring tear, and the Bruins haven't been able to find a way to put the puck in the net.
Tim Thomas will man the pipes for Boston.
