The Bruins will conclude their current four-game road trip and their season series versus the Jets in Winnipeg tonight. 

They are 2-0-1 on the trip and have played eight of their last nine games on the road, going 4-2-2 in those contests.

Tonight's game will feature two teams with over 100 points on the season and have both clinched a spot in the Stanley Cup playoffs.  Despite an insane amount of injuries in recent weeks, the Bruins have points in 12 of their last 14 points and are just two points behind the Tampa Bay Lightning for the most points in the Eastern Conference.  The Lightning will be at the TD Garden on Thursday night, so there is still plenty left to play for.

The Jets have decided to shut down defenseman Toby Enstrom for the remainder of the regular season after they clinched their playoff spot on Sunday.  However, Patrik Laine will be in the lineup as he battles with Alex Ovechkin for the league lead in goals.  Laine trails Ovechkin by two goals entering play, so the Bruins better have somebody covering his office at the left dot.
