On Thursday night, Zdeno Chara will have his No. 33 raised to the rafters at the TD Garden. After that, just after 8 p.m., the Boston Bruins will look to close out their five-game homestand with a fifth straight win when they play the Seattle Kraken.
The Bruins owe the Kraken one after they closed out their five-game road trip with a disappointing 7-4 loss in Seattle last Tuesday night. It was an effort that irked much of the Black and Gold's locker room. Rarely nowadays does a team get a chance to exact some revenge just nine days later.
