Game 59: Bruins vs. Canucks: Lines, Notes, Betting Lines

It will be another battle for NHL supremacy between the Boston Bruins and the Canucks in Vancouver tonight.

The Bruins will be facing a ticked-off Canucks squad as the best team in the Western Conference enters this game on their first four-game losing streak of the season. They will also be looking for some revenge for a dismal 4-0 loss to the Bruins back on Feb. 8 at TD Garden. Since then, Vancouver is 3-4-1.

The Bruins, meanwhile, come in on a four-game point streak going 2-0-2 over that span. However, since beating the Canucks on Feb. 8, the Bruins are 2-3-4.
