The Boston Bruins have gone more than a month since dropping back-to-back games and they have not lost in regulation in that same span. The Bruins hope to keep both streaks intact when they host the Montreal Canadiens on Wednesday night in the second matchup in five days between the teams -- with a third tussle looming at the Bell Centre on Saturday.

The Pittsburgh Penguins have looked every bit the part of two-time reigning Stanley Cup champions since bidding adieu to 2017 and embracing the new calendar year. Winners of a season high-tying four in a row and five of six in January, the Penguins aim to continue their good fortune on Wednesday when they open a three-game road trip against the Anaheim Ducks.
