The Boston Bruins and Toronto Maple Leafs are both hovering around the .500 mark, but they also both have reason for confidence entering their second meeting in less than a week.
The Original Six clubs and Northeast Division rivals face off at Air Canada Centre on Tuesday night.
Boston (9-7-2) won the first matchup between these teams in their eight-game season series, beating the Leafs 5-2 on Thursday night at TD Banknorth Garden. The five goals were the second-most this season for the Bruins, who ended a string of five straight games with two goals or fewer.
Peter Schaefer had two goals and an assist to lead Boston. Although they've struggled offensively for most of the season, the Bruins were confident they could score on the Leafs thanks to extensive film study.
"We saw video (of Toronto)," said Boston right wing Brandon Bochenski, who had two assists for his first points of 2007-08. "We saw the areas we had to be in to get chances to score."
