The Boston Bruins will face the Pittsburgh Penguins on Sunday on the road as they enter the final stretch of the regular season.

Boston - 2-3 in their last five after the 5-2 Chicago Blackhawks defeat on Thursday - aims to return to the win column with a victory at the Penguins.

On the flip side, Pittsburgh is heading into the Bruins vs. Penguins game with momentum after a 5-0 shutout win over the Chicago Blackhawks and a 4-2 New Jersey Devils triumph on Friday.

Based on the latest standings, both teams have already been mathematically eliminated from postseason contention; however, with the end of the season, both clubs will be looking to end the year strong.
