The Columbus Blue Jackets play the Boston Bruins in the first leg of a home-and-home back-to-back tonight. The Jackets hammered the Bruins 5-1 back on November 18th. It was a game that got their head coach fired.
Since the firing of Jim Montgomery, the Bruins have played pretty well. They're 7-2-1 in their last 10 games, have won two straight, and since that November 18th game, the Bruins are 11-4-1. They've also moved back into a familiar spot - the top three in the Atlantic Division.
The Bruins seem to be this year's version of the Washington Capitals. Winning games despite what the stats say. They're currently a minus-14 in goal diff, 31st on the PP, 22nd on the PK, 25th in goals scored, 20th in goals against, and 32nd in PIMs given up. They're still winning games, so I guess they'll take it.
The Bruins are currently 3rd in the Atlantic, 6th in the East, and 12th in the League.
