Game notes
- West Coast living continues for the Bruins, as they face the Kings in Los Angeles tonight after starting their road trip with a loss on Anaheim on Wednesday.
- The Kings were in action on Thursday night, falling to the San Jose Sharks in OT. That loss was LA’s second in a row, a mini-run preceded by a four-game winning streak.
- Anton Forsberg started that game last night for the Kings, meaning the B’s will likely see Darcy Kuemper tonight.
- Corey Perry, now firmly in his journeyman era after starting his career with more than a decade in Anaheim, has gotten off to a good start in Los Angeles, with seven goals in 15 games. He recorded 19 over a full season in Edmonton last year.
- The Kings have been a relatively stingy team defensively this season, allowing the seventh-fewest goals per game in the league at 2.71.
- For the Bruins, they managed to escape the Anaheim game with no new concerns (a miracle!), so expect to see a pretty similar group on the ice tonight.
See
ya much, much later tonight!
