[7:00 PM] Jets @ Bruins

Who will WIN this matchup?

Winnipeg Jets (9-8-2)

@ Boston Bruins (10-7-0)

 

Starting Goalies:

Connor Hellebuyck (WPG): Unconfirmed

Tuukka Rask (BOS): Likely

 

• The Boston Bruins have experienced more road success than any team in the NHL this season and look to bring those winning ways home when they entertain the Winnipeg Jets on Saturday. Boston plays four of its next five games at home following a 2-1-0 road trip that concluded with a last-minute loss Thursday in Minnesota and while the Bruins have won a league-leading seven road games, they are only 3-3 at home.

• The Jets come to Boston unhappy after opening a season-long five-game road trip with a 5-2 loss Thursday at Philadelphia.

• Scheifele recorded an assist Thursday and has points in seven of his past eight games (five goals, eight assists), while Laine began the weekend leading the league with 12 goals but only one in his last five contests.

• Rask has been outstanding in goal, posting a 10-2-0 record with a 1.49 goals against average and a .947 save percentage, and Boston has allowed only four goals in its past four games. But the offense sputtered on the road trip as the Bruins scored four goals on 100 shots.

• Boston F Brad Marchand, who led the Bruins with 37 goals last season, has scored only twice in his past 13 contests but leads the team in points (16).
