After two disappointing results last week, the Boston Bruins ended the week on a good note. After a home loss to the Philadelphia Flyers and an embarrassing loss on Halloween to the Carolina Hurricanes, the Black and Gold picked up a much-needed win against the Flyers on Saturday afternoon.

The win was the first in seven days for Jim Montgomery’s team and moved them out of the cellar of the Atlantic Division for the time being. They will have a quick turnaround and host the Seattle Kraken on Sunday night at the TD Garden with a 5pm start time.

Seattle is coming off a 3-0 loss to the Ottawa Senators on Saturday night after Anton Forsberg stopped all 22 Kraken shots.

Boston Bruins vs. Seattle Kraken History

Boston Bruins players vs. Seattle Kraken to watch

For the Bruins, Marchand is a player to watch as he has scored three goals in the past seven days after scoring his first in a 4-3 home win against the Toronto Maple Leafs on October 26. He sealed the victory over Philadelphia on Saturday with an empty-net goal when he hit the net from behind his blueline. Jeremy Swayman will get the start and try to bounce back after being pulled in Carolina.

Philipp Grubauer got the start against the Senators and. suffered the loss, which likely means Joey Daccord and his 4-2-1 record this season with a 2.85 GAA and .912 SV% will get the start in Boston. There are some familiar names on the Kraken this season that Bruins fans will be familiar with, including defenseman Brandon Montour who played for the Florida Panthers and played a role in eliminating the Black and Gold from the postseason.
