The Boston Bruins (9-4-1) are back at home, and they will open a two-game homestand this afternoon in their second Original Six matchup of the season. They will take on the Chicago Blackhawks (4-9-0) in the first of two holiday matinees between the two teams.
The Bruins have won seven of their last 10 and sit at the top of the Atlantic Division. They have a one-point lead over the Montreal Canadiens, who play the Penguins on Saturday night. They have lost each of their last two, scoring just one goal in each game. The Bruins rank eighth in goals for per game, sitting at 3.57, but they have allowed 2.29 per game, which is the second-best in the NHL.
The Blackhawks enter having lost four of their last five. They sit 31st in the league, and they are currently one of two teams without 10 points. They are also the only team in the league without a road win, having gone 0-5-0 away from United Center.
The Blackhawks own the league’s worst power play, scoring four goals on 40 attempts thus far. They have also scored two goals or fewer over their last five games, and their 2.08 goals per game rank 31st.
The Bruins went 2-0-0 against the Blackhawks last season. Fraser Minten scored the overtime winner during the game in Boston, and Mason Lohrei scored twice in a 5-2 win in Chicago.
The Bruins will not hold a morning skate. Marco Sturm will speak about 90 minutes before puck drop to announce the starting goalie and any lineup changes.
