This could've been a great game, but the Bruins will be treating this more like a spring training game then a regular season games, as they have already clinched the #2 seed in the playoffs. Since they aren't playing for anything Thomas will get the night off, and actually won't even dress. Marty Turco will get the start, with recently added Anton Khudobin serving as the backup. Defenseman Torey Krug will make his NHL debut, while defenseman Adam McQuaid will remain out with a swollen eye.
On top of that the Bruins are said to be using different lines tonight designed to get key players more rest. I think this is really smart since the Bruins have played so many games over the past year, and the rest is probably very needed.
The Penguins are a great team, but have been struggling lately. They have a lot to play for tonight, as they are battling for home ice in the first round. My guess is that the Penguins take care of business easily with the Bruins playing their "B" squad.
Penguins win 6-2
Player of the Game: Crosby
Game starts at 7:30pm
