Last year, the Bruins went into Edmonton and earned a 3-2 victory on Feb. 27.

Back in the days of Wayne Gretzky, Mark Messier, Cam Neely and Ray Bourque, this was a Stanley Cup Final matchup in 1988 and 1990 -- Edmonton prevailing both times for the final championships in their run as a dynasty. Boston returned to its glory days by winning the Cup last spring, but entering this matchup it's the visiting Oilers who are division leaders, sparked by a strong young nucleus and a white-hot veteran goaltender.

They've been called a lot of things in recent years, but "best defensive team" in hockey certainly hasn't been one of them.

The Oilers have allowed a League-low 21 goals in 14 games, and it's thanks largely to the outstanding play of goaltender Nikolai Khabibulin. After stopping 28 of 29 shots in 3-1 win against the Canadiens on Tuesday, he is 7-0-2 with an 0.98 goals-against average and .964 save percentage.

It may be time to put away the aspirin because it appears the hangover has gone away.

After beating the Islanders 6-2 on Monday, the Bruins are in the midst of a three-game winning streak. Nathan Horton and David Krejci had 3 points apiece, and the Bruins look like they've found their hunger after a lackluster first month.

Edmonton's Ryan Smyth has 5 goals and 3 assists in his last five games. Boston's Tyler Seguin is looking like a player set to break out in his second year. He has 5 goals and 1 assist in his last four games.

The Bruins are ready to get back to championship form and this game against the Edmonton Oilers could be the turning point.
