Today at 9:30 p.m. ET, the Boston Bruins (20-8-2, 42 points) and Calgary Flames (11-14-4, 26 points) go head-to-head in the first of two meetings against each other live from Scotiabank Saddledome in Calgary. The game can be live streamed here. Boston fans can hear all of the action on 98.5 WBZ-FM The Sports Hub while Calgary fans can do the same on CFAC 960 The Fan.
Jarome Iginla makes his first trip to Scotiabank Saddledome as an opponent of the Calgary Flames since the team traded him to the Pittsburgh Penguins on March 27.
"For me, it feels like coming home," Iginla said Monday via NHL.com. "To see family, friends, familiar faces honestly it's just trying to enjoy it. I want to play, want to play well and win."
The Bruins are coming off of a 5-2 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Sunday in a rematch of the memorable opening round Stanley Cup Playoff series last spring.
Calgary is coming off of a 2-1 victory over the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday night in overtime.
"I was very, very impressed with our team," coach Bob Hartley told NHL.com. "We battled for 60-plus minutes. Even when they got the tying goal, I could feel the disappointment on the bench, but I told them, 'We played so good, just keep going.'"
Jiri Hudler notched the overtime game-winner and leads the Flames with 27 points off of eight goals and 19 assists while Mike Cammalleri has 10 tallies and five helpers for 15 points and Sean Monahan also has 15 points off of nine goals and six assists.
Milan Lucic (11 goals, 13 assists) and David Krejci (five goals, 19 assists) each lead the Bruins with 24 points while Reilly Smith has six tallies and 14 helpers for 20 points.
Reto Berra is the probable starter between the pipes for the Flames and he has a 4-6-2 record with a 3.28 goals-against average and a .894 save percentage this season while Tuukka Rask is 15-7-2 this season with a 1.91 GAA and a .934 save percentage and is probable to start.
