The Nashville Predators return home after a pair of eventful, high-scoring regulation losses on the road, hoping to make up some ground against another very good team in the Bruins.
While they’re not the runaway favorites for the President’s Trophy this season, the Bruins are still having a great year. They lead the Atlantic and are third in the Eastern Conference, combining a league-low 17 regulation losses with a league-high 15 overtime or shootout losses (tied with the Islanders)–they’ve extracted points from a lot of situations, instead of leaving them on the table.
February was a rough month for the Bruins, but they’ve rebounded some in March.
