Game Preview

After winning for the second time in three games and making transactions at Friday’s NHL trade deadline, the Boston Bruins host the Pittsburgh Penguins for the final time in the regular season on Saturday afternoon.

Boston put together a complete game in a 4-1 win over the rival Toronto Maple Leafs on Thursday. The Bruins will try to stem the up-and-down tide of a 5-1-5 stretch with more such efforts as the Stanley Cup playoffs creep closer.

“I think we played a good 60 minutes and that was good to build towards what we’re trying to accomplish later on,” defenseman Brandon Carlo said. “There wasn’t a lot for (Toronto) to generate off of the rush or even in our zone. It all starts there when we’re playing the right way.”
