Twenty-seven games remain for the Boston Bruins, but their tests are about to get a little tougher as the Feb. 26 Trade Deadline approaches. Entering Saturday trailing the league-leading Tampa Bay Lightning by three points, the Black and Gold begin their five-game road trip Saturday night against an improved, but still rebuilding Canucks squad.
Unlike their 6-3 win over the Canucks in October, the Bruins come in with a much-different looking roster. Tuukka Rask and Ryan Spooner both missed the last meeting due to injury, while Vancouver native Danton Heinen was still in Providence. All three will be in their usual roles in the second go-around.
