Result:
WIN

The Bruins allowed eight goals in a season-opening loss against Florida. Atlanta has won the last two meetings against the Bruins. The Thrashers knew they'd have a trouble on offense after losing center Marc Savard. Goaltender Kari Lehtonen has been spectacular in the early part of the season and has currently not allowed a goal in 142 minutes, 42 seconds. After losing their season opener, the Thrashers (2-0-1) have won back-to-back games without allowing a goal. Atlanta crushed Florida 6-0 on Saturday before avenging its first loss with a 1-0 win over Tampa Bay on Monday. Lehtonen has the best goals against percentage in the league (0.65) and a .976 save percentage. A tough road game for the un-experienced Bruins. I'll take the hot goaltender at home in Lehtonen.
