After a rather disappointing 3-1 loss to the Detroit Red Wings on Sunday, the Boston Bruins are set to take on their arch-rival Montreal Canadiens at TD Garden on Wednesday night.
The B's and Habs both have won four of their past five, and veteran Ilya Kovalchuk, a newcomer to the Canadiens, could cause some struggles on the back end for Boston.

While Boston leads the Atlantic Division in points, the Tampa Bay Lightning are gaining ground. They trail the B's by just one point. A Boston victory over Montreal puts the B's that much closer to locking up first place in the Atlantic.
David Pastrnak, who has cooled off of late, will have the opportunity to reclaim the NHL scoring lead after losing it to now-40-goal scorers Auston Matthews and Alexander Ovechkin.
You can watch the Bruins-Canadiens game on NBCSN. Coverage starts at 7 p.m. with NHL Live, followed by puck drop at 7:30 p.m. You can also stream the game online.
