The Bruins have struggled at home for much of the season, but this is an excellent spot for them. Boston has been idle since Saturday when it beat Detroit, 3-1, at home. Boston is 7-3 the past 10 times when playing on two days rest.

The Bruins draw San Jose playing its third road game in four days and minus injured center Logan Couture. The Sharks opened their road trip with victories against the Red Wings and Sabres putting them in a letdown spot here.
