The San Jose Sharks head to TD Garden looking to bounce back from a tough loss in Buffalo, while the Boston Bruins aim to solidify their Wild Card standing in the Eastern Conference. With Macklin Celebrini continuing his stellar sophomore campaign, the Sharks are no longer an easy out for the league’s elite.
The Boston Bruins remain a defensive powerhouse, but they have leaned heavily on David Pastrnak for offensive production this season as he chases another 50-goal milestone. On the blue line, Charlie McAvoy continues to log massive minutes. For San Jose, Macklin Celebrini is the engine, currently leading the team in scoring and making a push for the top 10 in league points. This game might be special for him as he played at the Boston University in the NCAA back in 2023/2024.
Boston at home is no easy feat, as they have won 13 games in a row in TD Garden, being undefeated there since the start of the year.
Around this time in earlier seasons we know that the Sharks would’ve been dead in the water and another season being at the bottom of the table. But now the Sharks have a real shot at making the playoffs, chasing the Kings and Kraken (who have the last Wild Card spot in the Western Conference).
