Tonight, the Boston Bruins will take on the Winnipeg Jets after having a two-game win streak snapped by the Buffalo Sabres on Tuesday. While Boston is looking to get back in the win column tonight, Winnipeg is in the midst of a four-game win streak that's seen them pick up wins over the Colorado Avalanche, Utah HC, Calgary Flames, and most recently, the Montreal Canadiens.
Currently, Boston is sitting in fourth place in a competitive Atlantic Division with a record of 25-21-6 (56 points) while holding on to one of the two Eastern Conference Wild Card spots. On the flip side, Winnipeg is sitting comfortably atop the Central Division with 73 points, eight points ahead of the second-place Dallas Stars.
