Bruins vs. Maple Leafs 2014: Preview, time, TV schedule and how to watch online
The Bruins and Maple Leafs come in with strong streaks. Something has to give.

The Boston Bruins and Toronto Maple Leafs will square off in Toronto at 7 p.m. ET for the first time since the Bruins dominated in a 4-1 win in October.
For the Maple Leafs, the loss to the Boston Bruins a few weeks ago had the opposite effect of what most expected. Toronto has rallied around strong goaltending from Jonathan Bernier and James Reimer to jump to a 5-1-1 record since. Of course, that happens to be a slippery slope for Toronto. They relied on puck luck and strong goaltending to make up for their mistakes for almost a year until it collapsed on top of them. Facing the Bruins provides a good opportunity for the Leafs to start good habits in front of their netminders.
The Bruins have won five straight games heading into Wednesday contest, although all five have come against last season's non-playoff teams currently resting in the lower half of the league's standings. Still, the Bruins have fared admirably without star center David Krejci and young kids like Matt Fraser, Seth Griffith and Joe Morrow have stepped up when given the opportunity.
