It’s not only the players who are excited to see the match but also Boston Bruins alternate captain Brad Marchand and forward Jake DeBrusk. DeBrusk commented on Connor McDavid’s play and the strategy he’ll likely apply during the game in a video posted by the team on Twitter.

He stated, “You don’t know if you can stop him, you just try to slow him down any way you can. There’s different ways to try to do it. Honestly, it’s puck management. If we have the puck and he doesn’t, things are better for us”. 

On the other hand, Marchand complimented ‘The Chosen One’ saying it’s “Pretty special” to watch him skate close, according to Sportsnet. He said, “It’s a lot of fun…it’s truly incredible”. “It’s special to watch first hand”. “We’re still fans of the game and it’s a lot of fun, you know witness history firsthand”.

The Bruins winning streak has seen an incredible rise throughout the season. Keeping that in mind, coach Montogomery is excited to try experimenting by moving Dmitry Orlov to the first power-play unit. He said, “Our power play is kind of stalled. It’s been flat, right?…We have the opportunity to experiment, so we’re experimenting”.

McDavid has achieved many milestones this 2022-23 season, with some being crossing the 50 goals mark 1st time in his career, breaking Wayne Gretzky’s record for most points in power-play, and a few more. Not to mention, McDavid also became the 5th fastest player to reach the 800-point milestone in the league.
