Scouting the Bruins

Tonight’s game — there’s a game tonight, remember? — is the first of two meetings this season between the Kings and Boston Bruins. The Kings have beaten the Bruins twice in each of the past two seasons, but three of the victories came in shootouts. The Bruins will be without injured top defenseman Zdeno Chara tonight, but in goal they start Tuukka Rask, who has allowed two or fewer goals in four consecutive appearances. For the latest on the Bruins, check out the blogs from the Boston Globe and the Boston Herald, followed by tonight’s possible lineups for both teams…
