GLENDALE, Ariz. -- The Boston Bruins need a win in the worst way, especially after playing just about the worst way possible in back-to-back losses to the Colorado Avalanche.
"Definitely, it looked like a mess," Bruins goaltender Tuukka Rask said.
But even Boston might not need to win as badly as the Arizona Coyotes when two of the NHL's most disappointing teams in this still-young season meet Saturday night at Gila River Arena.
The Bruins are 1-2-0, not exactly a cause for panic with 79 games remaining, but certainly reason for concern as they search for workable line combinations and some reliable scoring.
