The Boston Bruins are entering tonight with 39 more days left in the season and still have 21 games to play. The game tonight will be a good measuring stick for where the Bruins stand against playoff caliber teams. Both teams were active over the weekend at the Trade Deadline and are preparing to make runs in the post-season.
The season series between these two teams is split at one apiece. The Bruins took game one 4-3 and Pittsburgh won game two in overtime 6-5 back at the beginning of January.
