The whole nation will see the B’s vs Pens game at the Garden tonight as Versus, TSN and the NHL network will all be broadcasting the game. Both teams are banged up with key injuries and this is the last stop of a long road trip for the Pens.

The Bruins will get David Krejic back in the lineup tonight after he missed 2 games with the H1N1 virus. Michael Ryder who missed practice on Monday with flu like symptoms will be in the lineup tonight as well. Although Tuukka Rask has been solid, look for Tim Thomas tonight as he will try to end his 0-3-1 run in his last 4 games. No fault to Thomas as he has only allowed 6 goals in that span.

The Bruins are catching the Stanley Cup Champs a vulnerable time as they come off a three game road trip to California and losing the last 2 including a 5-0 loss at San Jose Saturday night. To make matters worse, they Penquins lost Kris Letang in that game which adds to a long list of key injuries including  Evgeni Malkin, Maxime Talbot,Sergei Gonchar and Tyler Kennedy who are all out of the line up for the Pens. Sydney Crosby has been held with out a point in his last 4 games.

For success tonight, the B’s need to take the intensity of Shawn Thorton’s performance Saturday night and take advantage of the tired, injured Penguins. Even though the Bruins have lost 3 out of the last 4 they have played well and finally found a way to get shots on net. If the Bruins can jump on the Pens early by playing physical and shooting at the net every chance they get, look for the Pens to fall tonight.
