Key Factors to Consider
- Boston Bruins have been solid at home, showing a positive record with an 8-3-0 home performance and an overall 12-8 season tally.

- No explicit, recent injury reports detailed in the search results for either team that would heavily impact the lineups or expected performance for this game.
