Bruins chase 14th straight home win against Macklin Celebrini, Sharks

The Boston Bruins go for their 14th straight home win when they host the San Jose Sharks -- led by sophomore sensation and former Boston University star Macklin Celebrini -- for a crucial Thursday night game amidst a playoff race for both teams.

Boston earned a 2-1 overtime victory over the Los Angeles Kings on Tuesday to maintain a two-point lead for the second and final Eastern Conference wild-card spot, while San Jose has used a recent 3-1-2 stretch to move within a point of the West's playoff cutoff line.
