Game Notes:
- Right now the Bruins and the Rangers are tied in the standings with 52 points. The Bruins are coming off of a four-game winning streak that fans can actually feel good about. The Rangers are 8-2-0 in their past ten. Games with momentum like this are always fun.
- Derek Stepan is traveling to the Garden tonight, but Rangers coach Alain Vigneault said it is "most unlikely" that he will play.
- All of a sudden Bruins defense is doing stuff and reducing shots against. Maybe they're drinking pre-game beers like Tuukka Rask suggested.
