PREGAME NOTES
- Boston will look to keep it rolling after besting the Sharks in a wild overtime win on Monday night. Boston has now won six in a row and have taken points in 11 straight matchups.
- The only change in the B’s lineup will be Jaroslav Halak in net, with the goalie looking to make it three wins a row. In his last three outings, Halak has posted a shutout and a save percentage of .962. Peter Cehlarik will remain out for the second game in a row due to a lower-body injury, while Karson Kuhlman will remain up on the second line with David Krejci and Jake DeBrusk.
- Vegas has a comfortable lead for third place in the Pacific Division with a nine-point cushion ahead of the Arizona Coyotes and Vancouver Canucks, but the Golden Knights are stuck in a slump with a 3-7-0 record in their last 10 outings.
- Marc-Andre Fleury will get the start in net tonight for Vegas. With a win, he’ll be the first goalie this season to reach 30 wins, but he has lost his last three starts while posting an ugly 4.75 goals-against average and .861 save percentage.
