Boston is a strong all-around team and elite on defense, ranked third in goals allowed. Boston is 9-for-24 over its last six games on the power play to rank second in the NHL. The Bruins come off a bad offensive game, but are 24-8 after scoring two goals or less in their previous game. Arizona is banged up and struggling, on a 2-4 run while allowing 22 goals. Jason Demers suffered a lower-body injury Thursday while the status of fellow defensemen Alex Goligoski (lower body) and Jakob Chychrun is uncertain. Arizona is 46-108 against winning teams, plus 68-144 after scoring two goals or less in their previous game. Also, the Bruins are 19-7-2 in the last 28 meetings, including 7-0 in this building.
