Game Notes:
- After a two-game suspension that felt more like two years, Brad Marchand is back.
- Niklas Svedberg will likely start in net in the second game of this Central Division back-to-back. He was also in net in October's 2-1 loss against the Avalanche, with a .933 save percentage and 28 saves.
- Who needs Tyler Seguin and Jarome Iginla when it's Dougie's Big Year? Also, Carl.
- A win tonight is crucial to preserve momentum before the All-Star break and then a tough five-game stretch featuring the Islanders twice, the Kings, the Rangers, and everyone's favorite team...the Canadiens.
- Per DJ Bean tweet, David Pastrnak and David Krejci have combined for just one SOG the last two games. Tuukka Rask's 36 saves last night salvaged that game, but Bruins offense will need to step it up.
NEVER FORGET:
Eh, excluding this lucky waved-off goal (ruled high stick) this game was rather forgettable.
