Last season, Halak took the net and put in a really dominant performance against a struggling Ducks side. This fixture could well be decided by the special teams and based on the analytics, it’s the Anaheim Ducks’ game to lose if it goes that way. Given the Boston Bruins’ penalty kill has conceded three times, you don’t really want to be spending time on the kill against a Ducks side that has been able to control possession and get chances on net. Their opponent controls play much more effectively, seen in the fact they’ve allowed just 3 chances against, but haven’t converted once at the other end yet, despite seeing near identical power-play time. If the Bruins can force a powerplay or two, they’re a shoe-in to take the points they may have given up more chances on the man advantage, but they’ve also been able to convert three goals. With the trio of Marchand, Pastrnak and Patrice Bergeron accounting for 17 points thus far and no players other than Torey Krug and fourth line center Sean Kuraly having nabbed more than 2 points, it’s safe to say there is a way to beat us. You’d have to be concerned if the Ducks find a way to stifle the Boston Bruins’ top line. Whereas the Boston Bruins know to expect scoring (thus far this year) from Brad Marchand and David Pastrnak, both of whom maintain a better than point-per-game pace with 7 and 6 points respectively, the Ducks score slightly more by committee Ondrej Kase and Hampus Lindholm have 4 points each but beyond that, it’s a mixed bag of scorers. Comparatively, tonight’s opponent has only given their backup Ryan Miller the one game John Gibson takes on the majority of starts. Should Halak start tonight, the fifty/fifty split of the pair will be maintained. The Boston Bruins have been lucky enough to roll their pairing of Jaroslav Halak and Tuukka Rask evenly and have been rewarded with a shut-out from each.

Boston Bruins add intriguing forward with Jesper Boqvist signing.
