This preview is going to be a little bit shorter today. Sorry guys!
In the last of two meetings this season, the Bruins (28-12-2) take on the Anaheim Ducks (31-8-5) in Anaheim tonight in hopes of extending our win streak to three and starting our three game road trip on the west coast out right.
Yesterday the team recalled Justin Florek from the AHL and he traveled with the team to Anaheim. It was then announced today that Jordan Caron is still not good to go after suffering from a stiff back before Saturday's game against the Jets. As such, Florek will once again be filling in for Jordan Caron.
