[BRUINS]
After a 6-0 road trip and a seven-game winning streak, comparisons were being made to the Bruins' last championship in 1972. Recent struggles have cooled that talk, but the Bruins are coming off a much-needed 3-2 shootout win in Columbus on Tuesday.
Rich Peverley scored a shorthanded goal with 5:33 remaining in regulation to tie it, and Tuukka Rask stopped 34 shots and all three shootout attempts to end a four-game slide.
"Definitely, it was one of his biggest and best games of the year," coach Claude Julien said of Rask. "He was very poised and I thought he did a great job in the shootout."

[PREDATORS]
They have games in hand and are just one point out of a playoff spot in the West, but Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Los Angeles Kings didn't help matters.
Pekka Rinne, making his 18th straight start, allowed three goals on 17 shots.
"Every game is the most important game right now," coach Barry Trotz said. "We're still in a pretty good position. Obviously as a team we want to get points or limit their points. … If things fall correctly, we're exactly where we might be starting today with just one less game."
---------------------------------------
[INJURY REPORT]
The Bruins aren't dealing with any new injuries right now. … Nashville is without Steve Sullivan (lower body), Marcel Goc (shoulder), Francis Bouillon (upper body), Cal O'Reilly (broken fibula), and Matthew Lombardi (concussion).
