Boston Bruins Notes

-The Boston Bruins will honor veteran center David Krejci for reaching the 1000th game plateau this season with a pre-game ceremony. Congrats again to one of the classiest Bruins over the last decade-plus.

-Boston Bruins winger Jake DeBrusk scored a goal and added an assist to help the Bruins beat the New York Islanders 6-2 on Saturday in his first game since Jan. 2. DeBrusk now has three goals and an assist in his last two games. He has 17 goals and 15 assists in 37 games.

-Bruins winger David Pastrnak is still stuck on 39 goals as he tries to hit the 40-goal plateau for a second-straight season and for the third time in his career.

-Jeremy Swayman will get the nod between the pipes for the Bruins today. Swayman made 28 saves against the Predators on Thursday and earned his second shutout of the season. Swayman is 13-4-4 with a 2.21 GAA and .918 save-percentage.
