A Sunday matinee wraps up the season series with the Bruins.
An early game on a back to back, there won’t be a morning skate. Expect Freddie in goal. I wouldn’t mind Stastny replacing Stepan either.
The Bruins clinched their division yesterday and are closing in on an historic season. They’re playing at a 133 point pace, the NHL record is 132, set by the 1976-77 Canadiens in an 80 game season. The Bruins have a ridiculous +117 goal differential, but they’re -2 against the Canes, with the Canes having won the last meeting, 4-1 at the end of January. That was the last game of a 3 game Bruins losing streak They’re 18-4 since that game but 3 of those have come in the last 10 games. David Pastrnak is closing in on 50 goals, he’s at 49, 2nd in the league. He also leads the team with 46 assists, 3 more than Marchand. The Bruins have 11 skaters with at least 10 goals. Pastrnak is the only player at a point per game, Marchand is almost there. Linus Ullmark and Jeremy Swayman are running away with the Jennings Trophy, they’ve allowed 30 fewer goals than the 2nd place Canes. Ullmark leads the league in goals against and save %, Swayman is 3rd and 4th in those categories. In addition to leading the league in goals against per game, they’re 2nd in goals for. They’re 14th on the PP and have the best PK in the league.
