BOSTON-The Bruins look to get their fouth straight win tonight in a Oringal Six matchup against the Rangers.
Ready for the Rangers:
The Bruins have a tough schedule to close out the season and it begins tonight vs. the #3 team in the East. "It's a great thing obviously you want to be challenged by the teams that are going to be involved in the playoffs so I think it's a good opportunity for us to continue to build our game," said Brandon Carlo.
Jim Montgomery sees this game as a good opportunity to see where the Bruins stand. "I’m excited about this game…the Rangers are one of the elite teams in this league so tonight is an opportunity to see where we match up against them," said Montgomery.
The one lineup change tonight is swapping out Linus Ullmark for Jeremy Swayman.
The Rangers Artemi Panarin leads the team with 38 goals and 56 assists for 94 points.
The Rangers are on a bit of a hot streak themselves, winning five of their last seven.
