The Bruins were historically great during the regular season last season and they are off to a 6-0 start this season. Boston defeated the Ducks in Anaheim, 3-1, this past Sunday. The Bruins should have no problem beating the Ducks by multiple goals at home.

Boston has the stingiest defense in the NHL giving up only seven goals in six games. Anaheim ranks in the bottom-five in the major offensive categories of scoring, shots on goal and power play percentage.

The Ducks are a little fat and happy, too, after halting a three-game losing streak with a 3-2 upset overtime road win against Columbus two days ago.

This is Boston's first game in nearly two weeks. Boston has won 44 of its last 54 home games. The Ducks are in action for the fourth time in six days, all at different venues.

(Editor's note: Stephen Nover has his NHL Game of the Month heading his Thursday card today.)
