Why you should care: In what should have been a cake-walk for the first place overall Penguins turned out to be a defensive struggle last Saturday vs. these same Bruins. The power play was anemic going 0 for 6. After a week to rest some hurt bodies and to work on special teams, look for a much more wide open game this evening in the Rhode Island capital.
