TONIGHT’S GAME - The Bruins visit the Islanders tonight in game 4 of their best-of-7 Round Two series with leading, 2 games to 1. - The Bruins have a 24-10 record all-time in best-of-7 series when the Bruins have a 2-1 series lead and are 17-17 in game 4s of series in which they led 2-1 after game 3.
Fun Facts: David Pastrnak became the 5th Bruin in history with multiple playoff hat tricks on 5/29 in gm 1 ... Brad Marchand recorded his 100th NHL playoff point on 5/31 in gm 2 ... Tuukka Rask played his 100th NHL playoff gm on 5/31 in gm 2 ... Bruce Cassidy moved into 2nd place on the team’s coaching playoff wins list with his 33rd on 6/3 in gm 3.
MILESTONES APPROACHING - Five Bruins - Anton Blidh, Trent Frederic, Oskar Steen, Jeremy Swayman and Urho Vaakanainen - are looking to play their first NHL playoff games ... Swayman has dressed as backup all 8 games this post-season.
INJURIES - Kevan Miller - undisclosed - Ondrej Kase - upper body - John Moore - hip surgery
BOSTON vs NY ISLANDERS, LIFETIME SERIES - The Bruins and Islanders have played 2 lifetime playoff series with NYI winning both ... They have played 14 games with NYI holding both a 9-5 Boston Bruins: Media Notes advantage and 56-45 goals for/against edge. - Their previous series was the 1983 Prince of Wales Conference Championship series which NYI won 4-2. - Their 1st series was the 1980 Quarterfinal series, won by NYI, 4-1. - FYI: NYI’s Mike Bossy was the 1st player in NHL history to have scored all 4 of his team’s game-winning goals in one playoff series, doing so in the 1983 Conference Championship series ... The Islanders won the Stanley Cup in each of the years they faced the Bruins in the playoffs ...
These teams combined for 248 PIM (124 each) in the 1st period of gm 2 of their 1980 SF series on 4/17/1980, which remains an NHL record for PIMs by both teams in 1 playoff period.
Finish your checks, pass forward(look first
). No predictions (my playoff superstition), but expectations of a rugged game and pucks in the net behind “VARLY”
