 PREGAME NOTES

The Bruins will look to improve to 6-0-0 on the season at TD Garden when they take on the Oilers on Thursday night. 

Nick Foligno will draw back into the lineup after missing the last eight games, with the veteran set to skate on the second line with Charlie Coyle and Taylor Hall. Craig Smith will slot down with Erik Haula and Jake DeBrusk, while Anton Blidh will replace Trent Frederic (upper body) on the fourth line. Linus Ullmark will get the start in net for Boston. 

Ahead of puck drop, the Bruins and Oilers will remember and honor the life of Colby Cave, who passed away in April 2020 at the age of 25 from a brain bleed. Cave's widow, Emily, will be in attendance and will perform the ceremonial puck drop following a pregame video tribute. The Boston Bruins Foundation will also be auctioning off both teams' game-used sticks with the proceeds benefiting the Colby Cave Memorial Fund, which is dedicated to community initiatives in both Boston and Providence. The 50/50 raffle from Thursday's game will also benefit the fund.

The 9-2-0 Oilers are paced, of course, by Connor McDavid — who is tied with teammate Leon Draisaitl for the most points in the league with 23 in just 11 games. 

Edmonton leads the NHL in scoring with 4.18 goals per game and a 46.9 success rate on the power play.
