Injuries:

Rich Peverley (MCL) – Peverley will continue to sit as he rehabs an injury to his right MCL. The good news here is that Peverley has begun skating on his own.

Tuukka Rask (Groin) — Rask will remain sidelined for the next 4-6 weeks with a lower abdomen/groin injury.

Last Time We Met: Bruins 5 , Maple Leafs 4

– The last time these two Northeast division rivals made acquaintances was back on March 6 when the Black and Gold took home a 5-4 victory at Toronto’s Air Canada Centre. Boston has taken all five of the meetings between these two teams this season by a combined score of 28-10.

Prediction: After pulling out a much-needed victory against the Flyers on Saturday, one would like to believe that the B’s can come out with a fire on Monday as they look to build some momentum for the post-season. Look for Tyler Seguin and David Krejci to lead Boston to a big-time win on TD Garden ice.

Maple Leafs 2 , Bruins 5
