The Bruins are right back in action tonight in Edmonton after yesterday afternoon's overtime win at the Calgary Flames.

Even though the Oilers have been a disaster for much of the season, they can earn the season series sweep with a win over the Bruins tonight.

Head coach Bruce Cassidy confirmed that Anton Khudobin will start tonight. Tuukka Rask, who played yesterday, gave up four goals on 35 shots in a 4-2 loss to the Oilers back in late November.

Cassidy also confirmed that the goaltender switch will be the only change we see in his lineup today.  He stated that defenseman Kevan Miller is healthy, but the team is going to hold him out for one more game.  It will be interesting to see what Cassidy does with his defense when the team heads back east with the addition of Nick Holden earlier today.  Holden will not be available for tonight's game.

This is the 10^th time this season that the Bruins are playing three games in a four day stretch.  They are 7-1-1 in the third game so far this season.  This is also the 11^th time they will play on consecutive days this season.  They have a 5-3-2 record in the second of back-to-back games.
