The Kings head to Boston riding a 4 game losing streak, and they are now doing so without their head coach. Lots of people thought the Kings would be a good team this year after going out and signing Simon Gagne and trading for Mike Richards, but as of today they are in 12th place in the Western Conference.
Still, the Bruins need to be careful. A lot of times when teams dump a coach they come out fired up to impress the new one. The Bruins also will have a lot of challenges on their hand. As I mentioned earlier it looks like Chara isn't going to be playing. We also have word that Campbell will be out for this game, and Rask will be in the net. Rask has never faced the Kings, so it should be very interesting to see how he does tonight.
The Bruins pride themselves on rallying when things seem to be going against them. Still, I have a really bad feeling about this game. The change of coach, no Thomas in net, Chara being out, it just makes me a little worried about this game.
Kings win 5-4
