The Boston Bruins will face off against the Montreal Canadiens on April 3. It is always a treat when these two Original Six clubs play each other, as they are big-time rivals.
The Bruins are entering this matchup in the middle of the worst stretch of their season. They have lost each of their last nine games and have a terrible 3-14-3 record in their previous 20 contests. Now, the Bruins will look to pick up a victory against the Habs and end their ugly skid from here.
While the Bruins keep losing, they have shown some positive signs of potentially breaking through in recent games. They have lost each of their last two games by only one goal. This included a hard-fought 4-3 loss to the Eastern Conference-leading Washington Capitals last matchup.
With the Canadiens currently being one of the top teams in the tight Eastern Conference wild card race, they will undoubtedly be entering this contest with plenty of energy. They have also won each of their last two games, so they have been trending in the right direction lately.
Nevertheless, it will be intriguing to see if the Bruins can slow the Canadiens down and finally break their losing streak from here.
