|
| | | BOSTON: LAST SEASON: 42-31-9, 93 points. Fourth in Atlantic Division. Failed to qualify for Stanley Cup Playoffs.
COACH: Claude Julien (10th season, 14th NHL season)
ADDED: F David Backes, F Riley Nash, F Dominic Moore, G Anton Khudobin.
LOST: F Loui Eriksson, G Jonas Gustavsson, D Dennis Seidenberg.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Brad Marchand. If the 37 goals Marchand scored for the Bruins last season wasn't enough to catch the attention of the entire NHL, he definitely alerted everyone to his status as an elite talent during the recent World Cup of Hockey. Playing for victorious Team Canada, Marchand led the tournament with five goals in six games. He also scored the game-winning short-handed goal in the third period of the decisive second game of the best-of-three finals against Team Europe. During the tournament, the Bruins made sure Marchand wouldn't be leaving as an unrestricted free agent next summer by signing him to an eight-year, $49 million contract. Marchand has matured at both ends of the ice and there's no telling how much more he could improve in the next few seasons.
OUTLOOK: The Bruins seem to be caught between rebuilding and contending as they come off two straight seasons without qualifying for the Stanley Cup playoffs by a combined three points. With Backes their only major addition during the offseason, the Bruins are banking on the continued improvement or some of their younger players and the emergence of a couple prospects to turn their fortunes around. Boston again looks like a bubble team that will be playing for its life right down to the final weekend of the season. | | ANAHEIM: LAST SEASON: 46-25-11, 103 points. Won Pacific Division. Lost to Nashville in first round.
COACH: Randy Carlyle (eighth season, 11th NHL season)
ADDED: C Antoine Vermette, RW Jared Boll, LW Mason Raymond, G Jonathan Bernier.
LOST: Coach Bruce Boudreau, G Frederik Andersen, LW David Perron, RW Chris Stewart, LW Jamie McGinn.
PLAYER TO WATCH: G John Gibson. After sharing the crease with Andersen or sitting in the minors for the past three years, the 23-year-old American is an unquestioned No. 1 NHL netminder for the first time. He has capably handled a heavy workload before, but the Ducks need him to match the unflappable (and much more expensive) Andersen's steady play over an entire season.
OUTLOOK: The four-time defending Pacific Division champions are trying to go backward to go forward. GM Bob Murray jettisoned the successful Boudreau and re-hired old friend Carlyle, who insists the game hasn't passed him by after getting fired in Anaheim and Toronto over the past half-decade. He'll attempt to coax new mental toughness out of essentially the same roster built around Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry. The Ducks should be a Cup contender again, but that window could be getting smaller. |
| | Bruins continue playoff push against struggling Ducks
ANAHEIM, Calif. -- The surging Boston Bruins will meet the sputtering Anaheim Ducks on Wednesday night at the Honda Center, and both teams hope to enhance their respective playoff chances at the other's expense. The Bruins are in the race for the Eastern Conference's final two wild-card spots. Since interim head coach Bruce Cassidy replaced Claude Julien on Feb. 7, the Bruins won four successive games, scoring 15 goals in the process. Boston even became one of the few teams to emerge from its league-mandated bye week with a win, a 2-1 overtime decision over the San Jose Sharks on Sunday night. "Yeah, we were excited to get back at it and come together again," left winger Brad Marchand told the Boston Herald. "It's always fun to get back to it when you have a few days off. It gets you excited to play again. We knew we had to work hard, and again we knew it wouldn't be our best game, but we worked through it." Marchand's comments reflect the team's renewed confidence under Cassidy. "It is obviously pretty high," center Frank Vatrano told NHL.com. "We just need to keep paying attention to the things we're doing well and we'll keep having a happy locker room. If we keep playing aggressive like we've been doing, we'll be good." The Bruins even are bringing their enthusiasm to practice. "I see a little more hop in their step, simply because when you win, people are happy," Cassidy told NHL.com. "It's amazing what happens when you're in a good frame of mind, and you can push the pace up even higher." The Ducks, meanwhile, continue searching for the consistency that has eluded them all season. Anaheim enters Wednesday night's matchup with six losses in nine games and eight in the past 13. Nevertheless, the Ducks remain five points behind the first-place Sharks in the Pacific Division. "It gets frustrating when you want to be heading in the right direction going into the end of the year," defenseman Josh Manson told the Orange County Register. "Throughout the year, we'd have a lapse that would end up costing us a game, and we'd be clawing our way back. We've got to get that out of our game." The Ducks also must deal with the loss of center Antoine Vermette, who is appealing a 10-game suspension for slashing an official on Feb. 14. Vermette has won 62.4 percent of his faceoffs to rank as one of the NHL's best in that category. His absence forces Rickard Rakell to move from left wing to center, with wingers Nick Ritchie and Ondrej Kase flanking Ryan Getzlaf. "We're trying to put some different combinations together," Anaheim coach Randy Carlyle told the Register. "Those aren't easy minutes for those guys to step into." |
