League: NHL – United States of America

Last 10 matches: Toronto 2-7-1, Boston 4-3-3.
Three games played so far, all in December, all going to the home team. The Bruins steamrolled the Leafs in the first two by 7-2 and 5-2 scores, then Toronto’s Jonas Gustafsson posted his first NHL shutout on Dec. 19 at the Air Canada Centre.In the three head-to-head games so far, the Bruins have six players with three points each, five more with two, including just-traded Morris and Bitz. Chara has four points in his last five NHL games, while Marc Savard has five points in his last five, but hasn’t scored a goal since Dec. 23 (18 games). He did, however, score a hat trick in the B’s first meeting with the Leafs this year.
Seidenberg leads the NHL with 179 blocked shots. While neither team’s power play will light up the night, the starkest contrast is in the penalty kill. Boston is best in the NHL at 86.2 percent, while Toronto is worst at 71.8 percent, nearly four percentage points below the second-from-last Islanders.
Both teams have one game in since returning from the Olympic break and both were forgettable. But something else even more important took place since Tuesday, and that’s Wednesday’s trade deadline. Leafs GM Brian Burke and his Bruins counterpart, Peter Chiarelli, were particularly active. Burke, naturally, had the future in mind while Chiarelli geared toward survival and advancement in the Eastern Conference playoff race. Live score and results will be available soon.. stay with us.
