3. The Bruins are putting a cap on an historic season. On Thursday in Montreal, they'll be looking to beat their own NHL record of 64 wins and 133 points set on Tuesday against the Washington Capitals. Boston has yet to lose a game in April, with its last loss coming on March 28 against the Nashville Predators. The B's will be without some of their key players for the season finale, however. Goaltender Linus Ullmark left the Caps game as a precaution due to "muscle tightening" and did not travel to Montreal; head coach Jim Montgomery said he was leaning towards starting Jeremy Swayman against the Habs. Forward David Krejci, who hasn't played since April 1 against Pittsburgh, also did not make the trip. Both Derek Forbort and Nick Foligno are making progress towards a return, but won't play at the Bell Centre, while Tomas Nosek was questionable due to an illness.
4. The season finale is always a special night at the Bell Centre, as it's the culmination of Fan Appreciation Week. Doors open to both M2 Marche Montreal and the VIP CIBC entrance starting at 5:00 p.m. for the final "5 à 6" of the season. Thanks to our sponsors, a large number of prizes will be handed out to spectators in the building, and the night will close out with the return of the Jerseys Off Our Backs tradition, presented by RBC, where a select few lucky fans will get to receive a jersey directly off the back of a player. For those fans who won't be in attendance, don't forget to check out the

5. Game time is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. ET. You can catch all the action on TSN2 and RDS on television, or listen in on TSN 690 and 98,5 fm on the radio. Enjoy the game! Bon match!
