PREGAME NOTES:
- The stat keepers might be busy in this one, as Saturday’s matinee features four of the top five scorers in the NHL in McDavid (64 points - 1st), Draisaitl (63 points - 2nd), Pastrnak (60 - 4th) and Marchand (59 - 5th).
- The Bruins will look to extend their point streak to 10 straight games, while the Oilers have only won three of their past 12 games.
- Despite missing Friday’s practice due to illness, Zdeno Chara and Marchand are both expected to play Saturday. However, Matt Grzelcyk was ruled out Saturday morning due to illness, with Steven Kampfer set to replace him in the lineup. Jaroslav Halak will get the nod in net.
