Game Day Preview: 2016 Winter Classic

FOXBOROUGH —

In a few short hours, the Bruins and Habs will write another chapter of their historic rivalry.

Their roads to the 2016 Winter Classic has been well documented on Epix and media outlets throughout the United States and Canada. Their paths have crossed three times this year with the Canadiens holding a 2-1 advantage in the series.

The Canadiens are getting another healthy body as Brendan Gallagher will return to the lineup after recovering from hand surgery. The Bruins, however, will be without the services of two of their leading scorers: David Krejci (upper body) and Brad Marchand (serving a three-game suspension).
