The Bruins will be playing the Penguins twice in three days, as they play in Pittsburgh tonight before traveling to Boston for a game on Thursday. The Bruins are trying to win their 4th straight game on the road, and their 9th straight game overall for the first time in 25 years.
The Penguins are only 19-13-4, but they are one of the more dangerous teams in the NHL, as they ran the table all the way to the Stanley Cup Finals (lost to Red Wings in 6 games). Pittsburgh has two of the best offensive players in the NHL in Crosby and Malkin (first and second in the NHL in points). Luckily the Bruins have the 2nd and 3rd ranked goalies in GAA.
Thomas looks to be getting the start tonight, and he has been on fire lately allowing only 2 goals in the last 56 shots he has faced. The Bruins will need solid defense and goaltending to keep Crosby & Co. at bay, but no matter what this should be one of the more exciting games of the young season.
Game starts at 7:30 on NESN.
