Winnipeg Jets vs. Boston Bruins (H)
(12-9-3) (13-9-1)
Preview: These teams are both tied in points and rest in third place in each of their divisions. Therefore both of these would be qualified for the playoffs. The Bruins haven’t decline in awhile and especially not after winning the Stanley Cup in 2011. This has happened due to their top notch players such as Zdeno Chara, Patrice Bergeron, and Tuukka Rask. This year Chara was injured and this made a big impact on the defense but with great forwards and an outstanding goalie, it was not surprising that they didn’t decline that much. The Winnipeg Jets, came into the league in 2011-2012 season. They used to be known as the Atlanta Thrashers but relocated and renamed. The team consists of many top players such as Evander Kane, Dustin Byfuglien, and Ondrej Pavelec. The main leader of the Winnipeg Jets defense is Dustin Byfuglien, who is well known throughout the league as a top defensemen. This will be a great game and I recommend watching it till the very end.
My Prediction: I think that the Boston Bruins will win because no matter the injuries Boston never seems to disappoint.
