The Boston Bruins, leading the Atlantic Division, face the Winnipeg Jets in a clash of the only two NHL teams with unbeaten interconference records. Boston has recently gone 1-0-3 in four consecutive overtime games, maintaining a 9-0-2 record against Western Conference opponents.
Boston’s goaltending duo of Jeremy Swayman and Linus Ullmark has contributed to the team’s impressive goal differential, but coach Jim Montgomery expressed concern about the overall defensive game, particularly in giving up quality chances.
“We expected (scoring) to be down,” Montgomery said. “We are a little more concerned about how hard and firm we are defensively.”
