The Boston Bruins are on the road, heading to Anaheim to take on the Ducks Friday night at Honda Center. Puck drops at 10 p.m. ET, and it’s a crucial game in their trip. Head coach Marco Sturm knows the Ducks are a solid team with great skill and young talent, even with a few injuries. He emphasized the need to play strong 5-on-5 hockey and rely on their special teams to come out on top.
The Bruins are coming off a 6-3 win over the San Jose Sharks on Tuesday, where Fraser Minten scored twice and now has five points in his last two games. Sturm said the lineup stays mostly the same, with Minten centering the second line between Marat Khusnutdinov and JJ Peterka. Peterka, who’s been on a two-game point streak with three assists, feels the team’s speed and quick play are key. He praised Minten as a responsible, two-way player who’s been a great addition.
“We’ve had a good couple of days bonding, and we’re excited for the game,” Peterka added, showing the team’s positive vibe as they look to extend their success against the Ducks.
