Tonight’s opponent dwells in the desert, specifically in Glendale, Arizona. Our Bruins have been in town for roughly 24 hours by now and hope to get a win in this first match-up of the three-game roadtrip of Western Conference teams in this endless week of hockey.
This young Coyotes team is currently last in the Bizarro World Pacific Division with 10 points, the Bruins are still 5th in the Atlantic.
Bruins backup goaltender Anton Khudobin traveled with the team and was on ice for practice on Friday; Zane McIntyre is also still with the big club. Sean Kuraly was called up from the P-Bruins for this trip.
Sean Kuraly (recalled from @AHLBruins) on the ice for practice. Three netminders: Rask, Khudobin, McIntyre.

I’m guessing that they won’t put Tuukka in net two days in a row, opting to play him tomorrow. I couldn’t find any confirmations on netminder for the Bs tonight.
McIntyre
Rask

The Blue Jackets might be the most hilariously random team in the league. 8-4 win over the Blues tonight.
Nudeybar with his first NHL goal!
My current favorite narrative: Dougie Hamilton with the lowest TOI of Flames d-men tonight against the Rangers and is a -1 so far.
Make that a -2.
Make that a -3.
2 U’s, 2 K’s, 2 points!!!
Holy mackinaw…I go away for a week and Miro is an absolute maniac when I get home.
Grrrr.
Atta boy Carlo!
Was Richardson trying to carry him to the box? What was that?!
Woo!!!
Brick also not impressed by Chiller.
It’s as if he has no idea where his teammates are at any given time.
Czarnik has definitely made the adjustment to the NHL.
Yeah, not bad so far.
Heya! I’m on the train back to Haverhill after a week in Vermont. Whoa! Good to see Captain Zadayno get on the board. Pasta is somehow having one heck of an under-the-radar season so far.
Seriously. 9 or 10 for Pastrnak so far, and he’s played two fewer games.
Third in the league (now 2nd) in goals scored!
