Boston broke out of their worst slump of the season by destroying the Panthers 6-1. Tonight the Bruins will try to keep the good times rolling as they face one of the best goalies in the NHL (Jean-Sebastien Giguere), though he has not been as good as he usually is this year with a 3.09 GAA and a record of 16-15-5.
Boston got a nice boost from the return of Ryder, who will be one of the more important players down the stretch. His ability to be a grinder and put the puck in the nets is one of Boston's weaknesses. When you add a player like him or Lucic to players like Kessel, and Savard it just makes the whole offense better.
The Bruins should be able to shut this team down, as they have a far superior team all around. The key, as always, will be making sure they take advantage of the massive amount of opportunities they get every game, and getting solid goaltending from Thomas or Fernandez (who has been struggling lately).
Game is at 7pm on NESN.
