The Boston Bruins face one of their biggest tests of the season Saturday night, and they’ll have to do it without their starting goalie. Tuukka Rask is day to day with a lower body injury, and he didn’t travel with the B’s to New York for their showdown with the Islanders. That means backup Anton Khudobin will be in net as the Bruins try to keep pace with the Islanders for the final wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference. Both teams have 82 points, but New York officially passed Boston for the final playoff spot in the East thanks to its 4-3 shootout win over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Friday. The B’s now are

Berkshire Bank Hockey Night In New England: Projected Bruins-Red Wings Lineups
The Boston Bruins are coming off a bad 4-0 loss at home to the New York Islanders on Monday afternoon, and they face another important game versus an inferior team in the Detroit Red Wings on the road Wednesday night.

#EUROfantasy: Bank on Wales’ Bale
Wales' progress to the quarter-finals of UEFA EURO 2016 is by no means down to one man – although Gareth Bale has undeniably been the star of the show.The talisman of Chris Coleman's side is currently leading the goalscoring chart with three goals and an assist from his four games. That has earned him 23 points in McDonald's Fantasy Football for the 51% of people that share Coleman's faith in the Real Madrid star. You get what you pay for, and while Bale is a significant investment at €10.5m, he is a proven points-gatherer and set to be an integral
Berkshire Bank Faceoff: Projected Lines, Pairings For Bruins-Sabres
by Zack Cox on Fri, Jan 15, 2016 at 4:43PM 1,549 David Pastrnak is expected to miss his second consecutive game as the Boston Bruins look to close out their underwhelming five-game road trip on a high note. Pastrnak, who sat out Wednesday’s loss to the Philadelphia Flyers with an upper body injury, reportedly participated in morning skate at the First Niagara Center but is not expected to suit up Friday night against the Buffalo Sabres. “I don’t think he’ll be going again (Friday...
