The Boston Bruins and New York Rangers are set for another thrilling matchup. Both teams have been on fire offensively, with David Pastrnak leading the charge for the Bruins and the Rangers' power play buzzing. Can the Bruins contain the Rangers' offensive firepower, or will Pastrnak continue his hot streak?
The Boston Bruins and the New York Rangers are set for another exciting matchup, and both teams have been offensive powerhouses recently. David Pastrnak has been leading the charge for the Bruins , racking up 14 goals and 15 assists for 29 points in just 16 games. The Bruins are averaging 3.13 goals per game, and their power play has been clicking at a strong 23.5%. The Rangers have also been scoring at a high rate, averaging 3.
38 goals per game since the new year, with their power play humming along at 30.6%. While the Bruins have been potent offensively, their defense has been a concern, allowing 3.73 goals against per game over their last 15 outings. Despite their strong offensive showings, the Bruins have allowed 3.73 goals against per game over their last 15 outings, the second-worst in the NHL during that span. Jeremy Swayman, the Bruins' goalie, is 5-6-1 in that stretch with a .910 save percentage and a 3.07 goals-against average. Although he recorded a shutout in his most recent game, Swayman hasn't been at his best in the second half of the season. David Pastrnak, however, has been an absolute force, even recording his 18th career hat trick in Saturday's game against the Rangers. Pastrnak took six shots on goal in that game and averages 4.06 shots per game this season. The Rangers give up the fourth-most shots against per game, so Pastrnak should have plenty of opportunities to light the lamp. J.T. Miller, a recent addition to the Rangers, has also been shooting the puck often, taking six shots on goal in Saturday's game against the Bruins and displaying a shoot-first mentality in his first two games with the team. New York's power play has been clicking at 60% in the last two games, and it seems Miller is a key driver of that success
