Sharks-Bruins Preview
By NICOLINO DIBENEDETTO
"(AP) -- Among the worst home teams in
the NHL, the Boston Bruins are trying to turn things around. A matchup
with the San Jose Sharks will make that tougher.
The Bruins attempt to build on just
their second home win of the season Tuesday night when they face the
Sharks, one of the league's best on the road.
Boston (8-7-1) has won six of eight
road games but has failed to carry that success back to TD Garden, where
it's 2-5-1 after going 24-10-7 to tie for third-best home record in the
Eastern Conference last season.
"It was kind of one of those things
where we were playing not to lose," defenseman Torey Krug said. "I know
it's a cliche that you have to play to win."
The Bruins are hoping Saturday's 3-1
win over Detroit is the start of a turnaround after opening this
five-game homestand with a 3-2 loss to Colorado two days earlier.
"It's huge," said defenseman Kevan
Miller, who assisted on Krug's first goal of the season Saturday. "We
have three more games at home before we head back on the road. I think
it's important that we build on this."
The issues at home haven't been much
of a problem for David Krejci. The center has 10 of his team-leading 18
points there after opening the scoring in Boston's three-goal second
period against the Red Wings.
Krejci has one goal and one assist in each of the last two home matchups against San Jose (9-8-0) with the Bruins winning both.
The Sharks, though, are 6-3-0 on the
road, winning three straight after taking the first two of this
season-high six-game trip. They won 2-1 at Buffalo on Saturday on
Patrick Marleau's overtime tally.
"It's nice to get two wins, but
you've got to keep it going because if you lose your next two games,
you're back to where you started," defenseman Marc-Edouard Vlasic told
the team's official website after getting one goal and one assist. "In
this league you've got to get wins together in order to create
separation with the teams behind you."
Joe Pavelski assisted on Vlasic's
power-play goal against the Sabres, giving him nine points on the road.
The center leads the Sharks with nine goals and 15 points, and he has
seven points in his last six meetings with the Bruins.
Pavelski scored twice and assisted on a goal by Tomas Hertl in a 7-4 home win over Boston on Dec. 4.
Martin Jones is likely to face the
Bruins for the first time. He's stopped 56 of 59 shots while winning the
first two games of this trip after being pulled for giving up two goals
on three shots in the first 3:30 of a 4-2 loss to the New York
Islanders.
"That's as well as I've seen him
play," coach Peter DeBoer said after Jones made 30 saves against the
Sabres. "I thought he was excellent. We needed him to be our best
player."
The Bruins will likely turn to Tuukka
Rask, who had 22 saves Saturday after giving up eight goals on 49 shots
while losing his previous two at home.
"I look good when the team looks
good," said Rask, who made 37 saves while giving up a career high in
goals at San Jose in December."
