On Friday, the NHL schedule again features 13 games. One of them will be the spicy Boston vs Pittsburgh. The Bruins are the favourites. The game will be played on Friday, January 5 at 01:00.

Where to watch Boston vs Pittsburgh?

Boston vs Pittsburgh will take place in the Eastern Conference at the TD Garden Arena. The Bruins are the leader, while the Penguins are in 11th place outside the playoff positions. A very interesting duel starts on Friday at 01:00.

Will Boston confirm its position as the Eastern Conference leader?

The team from Boston has currently won four times in a row and has replaced the NY Rangers at the top of the Eastern Conference. In addition, David Pastrnak, who has been waiting in vain for two games for another goal, could wake up. Pittsburgh, on the other hand, failed to play the role of a paper favourite in their last home game, losing to Washington after a tragic first period.

Before the season, the Boston team was estimated to be out of playoff contention after the retirement of Patrice Bergeron and the subsequent departure of David Krejci. However, the Bruins actually continue where they left off last season without these former mainstays. Once again, they dominate the regular season.
