Boston Bruins Look to Extend Win Streak Against Slumping Chicago Blackhawks

The Bruins aim for a third consecutive victory while the Blackhawks try to end a three-game losing streak in Wednesday’s matchup.

The Boston Bruins (13-11-3) face the Chicago Blackhawks (8-15-2) at the United Center on Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. EST, with both teams looking to improve their standings.
Boston has shown improvement under interim coach Joe Sacco, going 5-2 since Jim Montgomery’s firing and climbing to third in the Atlantic Division.
The Blackhawks, currently holding the league's worst record, have lost three straight games and struggled defensively, conceding 10 goals in their last two outings.
Key players to watch include Boston’s Brad Marchand, with eight goals and 10 assists this season, and Chicago rookie Connor Bedard, who leads his team with 19 points.
The Bruins’ penalty trouble (second-most penalty minutes in the league) could be a factor against Chicago’s strong power play, ranked 10th in the NHL at 23.5%.
