The Bruins will challenge the Maple Leafs at TD Garden tonight, vying for an essential victory in their playoff race. Interim coach Joe Sacco emphasizes the importance of meaningful games, noting that this is their final matchup against Toronto this season. The Bruins are 1-2-0 versus the Leafs this season, with power play efficiency being a highlighted weakness. The Maple Leafs arrive on a two-game win streak, sitting first in their division, while the Bruins are just outside the playoff spots, needing a significant performance from players like David Pastrnak.
"We need to embrace the situation we are in right now, playing meaningful games right now," Interim head coach Joe Sacco said after yesterday's practice on the standings and this being a divisional game.
"Only picking up a point in their 3-2 overtime loss to the Anaheim Ducks, the Bruins remain one point out of a playoff spot. Toronto, on the other hand, sits at the top of the Atlantic Division, one point ahead of the Florida Panthers."
