THE STORYLINES
BOUNCE BACK
The Checkers head into this midweek matchup having gone 0-1-1-0 against the Penguins over the weekend. That two-game winless streak marks just the second time this season that the Checkers have registered back-to-back losses, and the team has not gone more than two consecutive games without registering a victory. They’ll look to get back on track against a Bruins squad that started the season 2-6-0-0 but has since won four of their last five games.PETROVIC HEATS UP
Alex Petrovic has been pouring in the offense from the blue line as of late. The veteran defenseman has assists in each of the last three games and has posted multiple points in two of those contests. The outburst puts Petrovic in the team lead among Charlotte defensemen with seven points in 11 games.TIGHTEN UP
After rolling through a stretch in which they allowed eight total goals over five games, the Checkers have had a tougher go defensively more recently. Charlotte has surrendered at least three goals in each of the last six games, going 3-2-1-0 across those contests.THE PLAYERS TO WATCH
