Storylines: Today is Tyler Seguin’s 21st birthday… The Bruins have a decision on the third pairing tonight. Adam McQuaid, out the last two games, could return. Or the Bruins could keep Aaron Johnson together with Andrew Ference. Johnson has performed well during fill-in duty… The Bruins are 0 for 15 on the power play at home… The Bruins are 27 for 28 on the penalty kill… Dan O’Rourke and Rob Martell will be the referees. Steve Barton and Michel Cormier will be the linesmen.
