Two teams on opposite paths right now as the Bruins have won three straight and the Canucks are looking to snap a two-game skid. Boston will also being trying to improve their home record to a perfect 9-0-0 on the season.
Both team's are on the second half of a back-to-back, the Bruins beat the Sabres 3-1, while the Canucks blew a 2-0 lead in Toronto, losing 3-2.
Always a little tension between these two cities after the 2011 Stanley Cup Final!
