The Boston Bruins have played some solid hockey the last week or so. On a three-game California road-trip, the Bruins went 2-1-0, taking 4 points from two solid Western Conference teams in the Kings and Sharks.
Part of the Bruins renaissance so to speak has been consistent goaltending. To the surprise of many fans, that consistent goaltending has come from back-up goalie Anton Khudobin, not starter Tuukka Rask. Hence why Khudobin was named the starter of Wednesday’s game against the New Jersey Devils.
The Bruins got back Ryan Spooner for the game, however, were still missing the services of Brad Marchand, Anders Bjork, and Torey Krug.
