The Boston Bruins will put their 18-game point streak on the line when they welcome the Anaheim Ducks to TD Garden on Tuesday night.
It’s the only time, except for a potential Stanley Cup Final matchup, that the Ducks will come to Boston this season.
The Ducks have a four-game point streak of their own in Boston. They are 3-0-1 with a plus-6 goal differential in their last four trips to TD Garden.
The Bruins will be without top scorer Brad Marchand, who will serve the second game of his five-game suspension on Tuesday. The B’s also will give No. 1 goalie Tuukka Rask a rest, which means backup Anton Khudobin will start between the pipes against the Ducks.
Here are the projected lineups for both teams.
BOSTON BRUINS (29-10-8)
Danton Heinen–Patrice Bergeron–David Pastrnak
Jake DeBrusk–David Krejci–Ryan Spooner
Anders Bjork–Riley Nash–David Backes
