The Bruins are "en fuego" right now. They now have a 6 point lead in the Northeast Division, and are only 2 points behind Tampa Bay for 2nd place in the Eastern Conference. You can credit it to the Bruins recent acquisitions, or you could credit it to them playing on the road. It has been well documented that the Bruins are an outstanding road team (21-7-4 on the road, 15-12-3 at home), so I guess we should be thankful they are once again on the road tonight.
Boston will be looking for 6th win in a row, and it sounds like Rask will be in net tonight. I actually really like that, because I want to see him in net more to keep Thomas fresh. Thomas has been playing a lot better since he has gotten more time off. Plus, this is Ottawa and the Bruins should beat them even if Blaine Lacher was in net.
Ottawa has had a real tough year. They are only 21-32-9 on the season, and have already shipped off a good chunk of talent on their roster. Look for any easy victory for the Bruins tonight.
Bruins win 5-3
