Red-Hot Bruins Look to Extend Point Streak

The Bruins are on an 11 game point streak (8-0-3) and have won their past six games.

With wins over the Anaheim Ducks, Los Angeles Kings, and San Jose Sharks the Bruins are looking for a west coast sweep when they face the Golden Knights on Wednesday.

Boston’s secondary scoring has been fantastic as of late. Jake DeBrusk is on a four-game point streak, tallying four goals and five assists for nine points.

Karson Kuhlman tallied his first NHL goal on Monday night against the Sharks and Charlie McAvoy scored the overtime winner for his fourth goal of the season.

Tuukka Rask has won his past six games and has helped propel the Bruins on their current point streak.

With a tough schedule coming up, it would be ideal for Boston to pick up two points against the Golden Knights.

Marc-Andre Fleury had been pretty good in goal. Fleury has a 2.61 GAA and .908 SV%.

With a red-hot Boston team coming into T-Mobile Arena, the Golden Knights need to be prepared for Wednesday nights matchup.

Prediction: Boston wins 4-2.
