The last time the Habs were scheduled to face the Bruins, they were on a 1-7-0 run and had narrowly averted going on an eight-game losing streak, instead stopping the slide at six, winning one game and then losing the next. Tonight, the Habs will look to stop a four-game losing streak, and collect just their sixth win since December 1st.
The Bruins have only won three games in eight since meeting the Habs on New Year's Day. The Bruins sit one point ahead of the Habs with two games at hand, making this a big game for both teams.
