Quick Pregame Thoughts: Bruins vs Islanders

     Tonight the Bruins are in Long Island facing a very good playoff team in the New York Islanders. This game in a few ways is a pretty big game for the Bs coming off their 2-1 OT win  Saturday against the Blue Jackets.

     First let’s start with the obvious, tonight could be the return of David Pastrnak. I don’t think I need to say much more than that. The team has certainly over achieved during his absence the last couple weeks, but it’s Pasta time once again in Boston.

    

      Some other things to take into account per Bruce Cassidy this morning, Krug was skating at an optional skate this morning with a non contact red jersey. Very little chance we see him tonight, but it’s nice to know he’s progressing nicely. Both Matt Gryzlyk and Marcus Johansson are also possibilities to join the team on this road trip which could help the Bs build on their identity heading into playoffs.

       Tonight’s game is great chance with #40 in net to build off their 2-1 win on Saturday after a disasterous road trip last week. 

      My Prediction 

       Bruins 3
       Islanders 1
