It is too bad the Bruins aren't playing the Devil's on their ice, because they have been terrible there. New Jersey is undefeated on the road though, so Boston could be in for a fight tonight.
The Devils lost last night to Buffalo 4-1, and now have to travel and play again tonight. This could work in Boston's favor as they Bruins are well rested after almost a week off. Brodeur, who is the all-time wins leader remains 1 shutout shy of tying Terry Sawchuk's NHL record of 103, has won 7 of his last 9 starts against Boston posting a 2.07 GAA.
Thomas has been good against the Devils though with a 2-1-1 record and a 1.50 GAA last season. Boston will still be playing without Savard and Lucic, but I expect Boston to keep the physical play up and try to grind out another win. If Boston can get through this early season rash of injuries they could be in really good shape the rest of the season.
Game starts at 7PM on NESN.
