Bruins captain Brad Marchand enters Saturday on an eight-game point streak with five goals and four assists in that span. He leads the team with 13 goals this season and has a team-high eight points on the Boston power play, which ranks 31st in the NHL at 12.7 percent. David Pastrnak leads the Bruins with 33 points.

For this contest against the Sabres, the Bruins will be going with Joonas Korpisalo as their starting goalie. Korpisalo, 30, last played on Dec. 12 against the Seattle Kraken. It was a tough night for the 2012 third-round pick, as he allowed four goals on just 20 shots in the loss.
