Players To Watch:

Boston Bruins

Brad Marchand has been the Bruins’ most consistent player lately, scoring points in five straight games. The Halifax, Nova Scotia native is second on the Bruins in scoring with 23 points (12g, 11a) in 31 games played. With his penalty shot goal in the loss to Seattle, Marchand tied Pavel Bure for the most penalty shot goals in NHL history with seven.

Vancouver Canucks 

Former Bruin Jake DeBrusk has been on a hot streak, with goals in six of his last seven games. Since his streak began DeBrusk has moved into the team lead with 14 goals, and his 23 points in 28 games is 4th best on the Canucks. DeBrusk scored a goal in the first meeting between the two clubs and the 28-year-old winger will look to add to his goal total at the expense of his former team.
