PREGAME NOTES: 

The Bruins will look to make it nine wins in their last 10 games when they take on the Rangers Sunday afternoon at Madison Square Garden. ... Boston will not change its lineup from Saturday’s 4-1 win over Detroit. ... Jaroslav Halak is expected to get the start in net for the Bruins, with the B’s backup netminder making his first start since Feb. 5. ... Halak was a late scratch due to injury last Sunday in what was an eventual loss to the Red Wings at Little Caesars Arena … New York is attempting to make a late playoff push, as the Blueshirts are looking for their fifth straight win. Rangers forward and top trade target Chris Kreider has 21 points (13 goals, eight assists) in his past 20 games.
