Boston Bruins game preview
The Bruins have been topsy-turvy, scoring nine goals and conceding nine in the last three games. The 2-1 loss against the Utah Hockey Club on Saturday must be stinging badly, given the nature of the narrow defeat.
Boston Bruins injuries
Alec Regula is the only Bruins player sidelined due to injury. A return date is yet to be set for the defenseman.
Nashville Predators game preview
The Predators started their campaign with no wins in their first five games and remain the only team with no points. The Predators came close to a point in the season's opening game with a narrow defeat against the Dallas Stars and have looked the second-best in every game since.
Nashville Predators injuries
Austin Roest is sidelined for the Predators with a long-term injury. The winger's return date is yet to be determined.
Bruins and Predators key players
Cole Koepke and David Pastrnak are the star players for the Bruins, with the pair scoring six and five points, respectively. Koepke looks to have adapted to the Bruins colors pretty quickly, given his recent move from the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Filip Forsberg is the most prolific player for the Predators despite their poor start. The winger has recorded two goals and three assists in the first five games.
