Game Notes
Three games remain as the Bruins wrap up their season, starting with tonight’s matchup against the visiting Blackhawks.

Boston returns home after a dominant 7-2 win over the Devils. David Pastrnak continues to shine, now with 14 points in his last five games. He hit the 100-point mark again and currently ranks fourth in NHL scoring.

Morgan Geekie is also enjoying a breakout season, reaching 30 goals and 53 points—14 more than last year. He’s consistently improved over the past four seasons despite the team’s struggles.

The Blackhawks have gone 2-8-1 in their last 11 outings and were blanked 5-0 by the Penguins on Tuesday. Tonight marks Patrick Maroon’s final game in Boston as he plans to retire after the season.

While both teams are near the bottom of the standings, Chicago’s power play is a surprising bright spot at 24%, and their PK sits at 80%. Meanwhile, Boston’s penalty kill remains a concern at 15.3%, one of the league’s lowest.

See you tonight!
