NHL On Tap: Sherwood, Canucks look to extend streak at Bruins

Games of the day

Vancouver Canucks at Boston Bruins (7 p.m. ET; NESN, SN)

Kiefer Sherwood looks to extend a three-game winning streak for the Canucks (10-6-3), who will try for their eighth straight win when they take on the Bruins (10-9-3) at TD Garden. Sherwood scored in Vancouver’s 4-3 win over the Ottawa Senators on Saturday. The 29-year-old forward has five points during a four-game stretch. Brock Boeser will return for the Canucks; the forward missed seven games after an illegal check to the head of Tanner Jeannot of the Los Angeles Kings on November 7. Boeser has 11 points (six goals, five assists) in 12 games after posting NHL career highs of 40 goals and 73 points in 81 games last season. Boston is aiming for its third win in a row under interim coach Joe Sacco after a 2-1 victory on Saturday over the Detroit Red Wings. Sacco replaced Jim Montgomery, who was fired on November 19. Defenseman Mason Lohrei has four assists in his past five games for the Bruins.

The NHL commemorates its 107th anniversary on Founders Day with the Canadiens (7-11-2), the league’s oldest franchise, hosting Utah (8-10-3), the newest team, for the first time. Jack McBain has goals in two straight games and three of four for Utah, which has lost four of five. Montreal looks to bounce back from a 6-2 loss to the Vegas Golden Knights on Saturday. Captain Nick Suzuki leads the Canadiens with 19 points (seven goals, 12 assists) in 20 games.
