PREGAME NOTES:
The Bruins are set to get some reinforcements up front for Tuesday’s matchup, headlined by
Patrice Bergeron
— who missed Saturday’s shootout loss to the Capitals due to a lower-body injury. Bergeron is officially tabbed as a game-time decision for the game, while both
Jake DeBrusk
and
Brett Ritchie
have been given the green light to return and will skate with
David Krejci
on the second line. Both wingers missed the previous five games.
The Devils might be sitting at the bottom of the Metropolitan Division, but they have managed to win two games in a row, with
Mackenzie Blackwood
playing a key role in net. With
Cory Schneider
placed on waivers, Blackwood is set to take the No. 1 role with the Devils, posting a 3-1-0 record with a 2.00 goals-against average and .938 save percentage in his past four games.
The Bruins have yet to lose a game this season to a club in the Metropolitan Division (3-0-2). Aside from injuries, one area of concern for Boston has been its PK on the road, which is only operating at a 75% success rate. However, New Jersey’s power play only ranks 27th in the NHL with a 14.3% success rate.
