The Boston Bruins are looking for a second consecutive win, their third for the month, as they're closing out a three game road trip in Winnipeg against the Jets tonight. The home team has split the first two games of a four game home-stand defeating the Sabres but losing to the Ducks. The Bruins won the first meeting between the two teams 2-1 in Boston, and I think they'll run away with the two points tonight as well.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Injuries - The Jets will have to do without four of their best defensemen with Jacob Trouba joining Mark Stuart, Tobias Enstrom and Zach Bogosian on the injury list. The visitors on the other hand had David Krejci back against the Wild Tuesday after the Czech had been out for almost a month with a hip-injury. He has 10 points over 12 games this season and logged more than 18 minutes straight away in the comeback.

2. Road Warriors - The Bruins have won seven of their last eight on the road versus a team with a losing home record. They're also on somewhat on a roll right now, going 2-0-1 over their last three away from home.

3. X-Factor - Tuukka Rask is 9-4-0 with two shutouts and a 1.90 GAA in his career against the Jets.
