The Bruins are coming off a 7-4 home victory against the Blackhawks on Saturday, when they tied a season high with four power-play goals (they did it in a 6-3 win against the Vancouver Canucks on Oct. 19). The six straight wins are also a season high, and they became the seventh team in NHL history to sweep a six-game homestand. Boston is second in the Atlantic Division and trails the Tampa Bay Lightning for first by six points with three games in hand.
Forward Tommy Wingels will play in Chicago for the first time since being traded to Boston on Feb. 26. He has three points (one goal, two assists) in five games with the Bruins.
The Blackhawks will look to avoid their third consecutive loss. They are 14 points behind the Colorado Avalanche for the second wild card into the Stanley Cup Playoffs from the Western Conference.
