Game Notes:
- With Brad Marchand out, Daniel Paille is likely to take his spot. Paille practiced in gold with Patrice Bergeron and Reilly Smith on Friday.
- In this five-game winning streak, the Bruins have had the best defense in the NHL. They've managed to reduce chances and have allowed only six goals in five games. The Bruins vs Rangers chart below is really fun.
- The Blue Jackets are on a four-game losing streak, including a 2-1 loss to the Rangers. The Bruins just had a shutout win against the Rangers. I'm not a scientist…but science.
- Goaltender Curtis McElhinney will likely start. He was in goal for the infamous seven-round shootout earlier this season.
- The Bruins haven't had a six-game winning streak since last season's glory. It's time.
NEVER FORGET:
Hopefully this game doesn't turn into a seven-round shootout.
