The Pittsburgh Penguins and the Boston Bruins are both sitting in the middle of their divisions and in need of a win on Wednesday when the two meet at 7PM ET.
Boston has played just 11 games this season and is 7-3-1 on the year. The Bruins trail Montreal by four points in the Northeast Division and have scored 33 goals and allowed a conference-low 20. Boston is 5-1-0 on the road this season.
Pittsburgh is 7-7-1 after 15 games this season. The Penguins trail Philadelphia by five points in the Atlantic Division. They have scored 43 goals and allowed 39 on the year and are 2-4-0 at home.
