Boston also is 4-1-0 in its first five games without captain and top defenseman Zdeno Chara, who tore a ligament in his right knee late last month. Theres an excellent chance Boston will push the streak to four games tonight, as it enters Thursdays matchup riding a 12-game winning streak against the Oilers, who last beat the Bruins on Oct. 17, 2000. Edmontons last victory in Boston was way back on Nov. 7, 1996 and the Oilers are 0-7-1 with a tie in their last nine games in Beantown. Boston picked up an overtime victory in its latest outing, edging the Florida Panthers by a 2-1 score. Brad Marchand scored the winner with 1:33 to play in OT to help the Bruins get to the .500 mark on home ice (4-4-0). Marchand took a pass from Dougie Hamilton and skated down the middle, making a move to get around Dylan Olsen before switching back to the forehand and wristing it into the left corner for his fifth goal of the season. I think tonight was a real big step forward for us, said Marchand. We played with a lot more confidence than we have in the past number of games, and it seems like were able to make plays now and hold on. Patrice Bergeron scored the other goal for Boston while Tuukka Rask only needed to stop 18 shots for the win. Rask expects to start again tonight and is 3-0 with a 1.67 goals against average in three career tilts versus Edmonton. After tonight, the Bruins wont play again until Monday when they complete their current stay at TD Garden against New Jersey.

The Oilers have lost three straight in regulation and opened a five-game road trip with Tuesdays 4-1 setback in Philadelphia. The loss dropped Edmonton to 0-3-1 as the visiting team this season. Flyers goaltender Steve Mason stopped 35-of-36 shots to earn his first win of the season in his sixth start, while Jakub Voracek scored twice to help down the Oilers. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins supplied the lone offense for the Oilers, while Viktor Fasth surrendered all four markers on just 25 shots. The fact of the matter is we cant have just five or six guys step up, Oilers head coach Dallas Eakins said.

He is winless (0-3-0) with a 4.68 GAA in three career outings versus the Bruins. The Oilers will continue their swing tomorrow evening in Buffalo.
