KEY GAME INFORMATION
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.
PITTSBURGH: LAST SEASON: 48-26-8, 104 points. Finished 2nd in Metropolitan Division. Beat San Jose Sharks in six games to win Stanley Cup.
COACH: Mike Sullivan (second season, fourth NHL season).
ADDED: D David Warsofsky.
LOST: G Jeff Zatkoff, F Beau Bennett, D Ben Lovejoy.
PLAYER TO WATCH: C Sidney Crosby. Less than a year removed from a prolonged slump, the two-time MVP is on a major roll as he enters his 12th season. Crosby won the Conn Smythe Trophy while leading the Penguins to the franchise's fourth Cup and followed it up by being named the MVP of the World Cup of Hockey while leading Team Canada to a title. He averaged 1.32 points after Sullivan took over for Mike Johnston in mid-December, a pace that would have won him the scoring title over the course of a full season.
OUTLOOK: The Penguins did little to tinker with a formula that led them back to the top for the first time since 2009. Crosby and teammate Evgeni Malkin remain the heart of the franchise and there's plenty of young legs (and a few older ones) in key supporting roles. The biggest question will be how the goaltending situation gets settled between Marc-Andre Fleury and Matt Murray, who backstopped the Penguins to the Cup after Fleury suffered a concussion late in the regular season.
PREVIEW
Malkin, Penguins seek 4th in row vs. Bruins

Evgeni Malkin is a man of his word.

After Pittsburgh Penguins was beaten soundly in Detroit 6-3 on Jan. 14, the superstar center told reporters the Penguins, then in the midst of a three-game losing streak, would rebound.

"These next three games, we should win," Malkin proclaimed to reporters in Detroit after that defeat.

The Penguins did win their next three games and will try to extend that streak to four when they host the Boston Bruins on Sunday at PPG Paints Arena.

Malkin has been a major part of Pittsburgh's winning streak. He has six points (four goals, two assists) in the past three games. A scoring streak of six games pushed him into second place in the NHL's scoring race with 52 points (22 goals, 30 assists) behind Edmonton Oilers center Connor McDavid (55 points).

The Penguins' offensive surge goes beyond Malkin. They have averaged 6.3 goals per game during the winning streak and have gotten ample secondary scoring. Left winger Conor Sheary (four goals, two assists) and center Jake Guentzel (one goal, two assists) each have three-game scoring streaks. In Friday's 7-1 road win against the Hurricanes, the Penguins had 13 players record a point.

"We've certainly been encouraged with the way our team is trending right now because I think we're becoming a much more difficult team to ," head coach Mike Sullivan said to the media following practice Saturday. "I think we're getting contributions from throughout our lineup. We're not necessary trying to outscore teams. We're just trying to play the game the right way and when we do that, we have enough talent on our team that we're going to generate offense."

The Bruins enter the contest with a three-game losing streak of their own. Following a 1-0 home loss to the Chicago Blackhawks on Friday, Boston coach Claude Julien was asked if he fears for his job security.

"Well, I'm not into shock journalism," Julien said at TD Garden in response to a question from CSN New England. "So I'll stay away from that question, if you don't mind."

Following practice Saturday, Julien did address the question.

"I didn't feel it was the appropriate time for me to answer that," Julien said. "After a game, your emotions are pretty high so I wasn't getting into that. But to be honest with you guys, my job is to coach a hockey club. Am I worried about my job? No I'm not because it's not my job to worry about it."

"I think my job is to coach this team and try to do everything I can. And if I become one of the reasons that we're not doing well, well then I think management has to make that decision. It's not my decision to make."

Penguins left winger Scott Wilson is expected to play after leaving Friday's win at 5:39 of the third period with a suspected arm injury. Saturday, Wilson was optimistic he will play Sunday.

"I feel great this morning," Wilson said following practice. "Shocked at how good I felt this morning actually. I'll be ready to go tomorrow."
