Game notes

  • The Bruins are back at it in Las Vegas, fresh off of two post-regulation defeats in a row.
  • The Golden Knights, once flying high atop the league standings, have stumbled a bit of late. They’re 3-7-0 in their last ten games, the latest a 3-0 defeat to the Avalanche in Denver on Wednesday.
  • The B’s recalled Brandon Bussi from Providence this morning, which doesn’t say great things about the status of Linus Ullmark.
  • We haven’t heard much regarding the statuses of either Matt Poitras or Brandon Carlo, so it remains to be seen if either is available tonight.
  • We’ll try to update the preview as we learn more about lineup updates for tonight. Until then…discuss.
