Riley Nash and Ryan Spooner both skated before Friday's morning skate after missing Thursday night's game against the Winnipeg Jets due to illness. Head coach Bruce Cassidy revealed that they skated before the rest of the team in order to avoid spreading the virus to more teammates. Cassidy said that he anticipates that they will both play today.
The Bruins have taken points in 12 of their last 13 games versus the Red Wings, going 11-1-1 in that span. They have won their last six games versus the Red Wings on home ice and have not lost in regulation to them since February of 2016.
