PREGAME NOTES:
The Bruins will look to build off of their home win over the Stars when they take on the Islanders on Saturday afternoon.
Boston is looking for its 10th
straight road win against the Islanders. Boston hasn't lost to the Islanders on the road since New York won 3-1 at Nassau Coliseum on Nov. 2, 2013.
The Islanders are 2-0-2 in their last four games but have lost consecutive overtime matchups against the Rangers and Blues. New York currently holds the first wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference.
Chris Wagner
will not play after suffering an upper-body injury during Thursday’s win — he’s officially labeled as day to day. With Wagner out,
Joakim Nordstrom
will likely get the nod on the fourth line.
Tuukka Rask
will start.
