Boston Bruins vs. New Jersey Devils preview

The Boston Bruins will look to build on their impressive 4-1 victory over the Penguins when they host the favored New Jersey Devils at TD Garden on Tuesday night.

Despite their struggling 32-39-9 record this season, the Bruins have found a bright spot in netminder Jeremy Swayman, who boasts a solid .911 save percentage across his career and has registered quality starts in over 60% of his appearances.

The Devils (41-31-7) enter this matchup following a frustrating 1-0 shutout loss to the Islanders where they failed to convert any of their 25 shots on goal.

Jacob Markstrom is expected between the pipes for New Jersey, bringing his veteran presence to a Devils squad that has been efficient on the power play this season, converting at an impressive 27.49% rate.

Special teams could prove decisive, with Boston's penalty kill operating at 77.06% against a Devils power play unit that ranks among the league's more dangerous groups.

TD Garden should provide a testing atmosphere for the Devils, who despite being favored on paper, must overcome their recent offensive struggles to avoid another upset from the home underdogs.
