| Boston, MA (MySportsbook) - The Boston Bruins try to join an elite club tonight when they welcome the Buffalo Sabres to FleetCenter. Boston is one shy of its 2,500th victory overall as a franchise, as well as its 1,500th home win. The Montreal Canadiens are currently the only NHL team to have reached those plateaus. In all, the Bruins boast a 2,499-1,949-768-24 all-time record -- including a 1,499-753-363-9 home mark -- during their 79-year history. The present-day Bruins enter today's action with the Eastern |

| (MySportsbook) - It's bad enough that the Penguins were swept in their recent home-and-home with the Montreal Canadiens, but what makes it worse is the fact that both games were there for the taking. Mario Lemieux and Co. dropped both contests in overtime, falling each instance after battling back to knot the score. On Wednesday the Pens suffered a 3-2 defeat at the hands of the Habs, and their winless streak reached seven games (0-3-1-3). Jan Hrdina scored twice in the losing cause as the Penguins also fell t |
