Everything, it seems, is going the way of the Boston Bruins, who've lost just once in regulation since Dec. 16 and face the Buffalo Sabres at home Saturday. In Thursday's 6-1 win over the New York Rangers, 14 different Bruins collected a point, including back-up goaltender Anton Khudonin. Boston's fourth line of Sean Kuraly, Austin Czarnik and Tim Schaller has posted 3-3-6 totals in the past two games. Even a suspension to top-line forward Brad Marchand couldn't slow them down.
The Minnesota Wild, who play host to the Chicago Blackhawks Saturday, are to home ice what the Bruins are everywhere. The Wild have collected a point in 11 consecutive home games since Dec. 27. And speaking of home cooking, who doesn't love a homecoming? That's what happens in Montreal on Saturday, as former Canadiens defenseman P.K. Subban and the defending Western Champion Nashville Predators face the Habs.

The Sabres and Bruins have split two meetings this season, the Sabres winning 5-4 in overtime at Boston on Oct. 21 and Boston blanking the Sabres 3-0 at Buffalo on Dec. 19. The Bruins are 8-0-1 in their last nine against Buffalo. Boston goalie Tuukka Rask is 19-0-2 in his last 21 decisions.

In three games against his old team, Subban is 1-1-1, but he was a 2-1 loser in his first game back in Montreal last season. The Predators have worked extra time in each of the first three games of this four-game road trip, beating the New York Islanders in overtime, losing in a shootout at Toronto and in OT at Ottawa. Nashville has lost three games in a row just once all season long. A 5-3 loss at Philadelphia on Thursday ended Montreal's two-game win streak. The Habs are 2-4 in their last six games.

Chicago has scored more than two goals just three times in the past 12 games. The Blackhawks are 4-2 in their last six road games.
