- Once again, David Krejci is expected to be a game-time decision for tonight’s game as he looks to recover from a lower-body injury he suffered during the preseason. Krejci was a late scratch from Boston’s season-opening win against the Stars on Thursday.
- Jaroslav Halak will get the start in net for Boston tonight, with the backup goalie posting a record of 9-3-2 with a 2.00 goals-against average, a .931 save percentage and one shutout against the Coyotes in his career.
- Brad Marchand has 36 points (16 goals, 20 assists) and is plus-21 in 38 games against Arizona.
- The Bruins carry a 14-game win streak vs. the Arizona Coyotes into the 2019-20 season. It is their longest current win streak vs. any opponent. Their last loss to the Coyotes was a 5-2 setback on October 9, 2010 in Prague, Czech Republic. The longest win streak against one opponent in team history is 15 games vs. the Philadelphia Flyers from 1970-72.
- Saturday will stand as Arizona’s home opener — and the first game for new Coyote Phil Kessel in front of his new home crowd. The former Bruin has tallied 27 points (11 goals, 16 assists) and is minus-27 in 42 games against Boston.
