4. Boston, for its part, hasn't played since Sunday's 3-1 loss to the Red Wings in Detroit. Torey Krug scored the lone goal for Beantown at Little Caesars Arena, while Tuukka Rask made 17 saves in a losing effort. The loss snapped a six-game winning streak for Bruce Cassidy's troops, who had not lost since January 19 in Pittsburgh before Sunday. The Bruins are currently first in the Eastern Conference with 80 points off a 34-11-12 record. They've allowed the third-fewest goals against in the League (143) this season. David Pastrnak leads his team with 78 points (38G, 40A), which ranks him tied for third in the NHL scoring race in 2019-20. This is the fourth and final meeting of the season between the archrivals. The two teams split a pair of games in November, with Boston holding the edge in the season series after beating Montreal 3-1 back on December 1 at TD Garden.
5. Puck drop is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. You can catch all the action on Sportsnet, Sportsnet 360, and RDS on television, and on TSN 690 and 98,5 fm on the radio.
