Tonight, the Boston Bruins will look to make it two in a row when the team collides with the Colorado Avalanche. After picking up a 2-0 win over the Ottawa Senators on Thursday, which moved Boston to 3-2 in their last five, the team will look to keep the momentum rolling in tonight's home game against the Avalanche.
On the flip side, Colorado will be heading into tonight's game looking to snap a two-game skid that most recently saw them drop a 3-2 loss to the Winnipeg Jets earlier in the week.
With both teams looking to move up the standings in their respective divisions and hoping to clinch a playoff spot or a Wild Card spot, tonight's game seems poised to deliver fireworks.
