>> BRUINS ON WMUR: Watch coverage beginning at 8 p.m. on WMUR-TV

It’s a huge game in the NHL’s Eastern Conference Wild Card standings.

Entering the game, the Bruins and the Red Wings are tied with 84 points.

Both teams are in Wild Card positions. If the season ended today, the Bruins would be the top Wild Card team, with Detroit taking the last playoff spot.

Both teams are also tied with Montreal for third place in the Atlantic Division.

BRUINS’ BIG WIN THURSDAY NIGHT

The Bs set up this matchup for at least the top Wild Card spot by getting a big win at home over the Jets on Thursday night in a 6-1 victory at TD Garden.

Four players had multiple points in the game, including Pavel Zacha, who has four goals in his last three games.

He has been playing motivated hockey.

“Missing the Olympics was something that was not the best mentally for me, but I was thinking about it the whole break, ‘How can I come back and be a difference-maker,'” Zacha said after Thursday’s win.

TRADE DEADLINE AFTERMATH

Many said the Bruins stood pat at this year’s trade deadline, but they did make a few minor moves, and one paid off in a big way on Thursday night.

Welcome to Boston, Lukas Reichel.

Reichel came over from the Canucks for a late-round draft pick.

He was called up from the minor leagues and notched two points in his Boston debut with a goal and an assist in the win over Winnipeg.

Reichel was a first-round pick by Chicago in 2020. He has the talent to make an impact.

MATCH-UP WITH DETROIT

Detroit, Boston’s opponent Saturday, is playing well.

They are winners of two games in a row, including a 3-1 win against the Canadiens on Thursday and a 5- 2 victory against Calgary on Monday.

The Wings are in the middle of a four-game homestand.

The Bruins, meanwhile, have struggled on the road. They are nine games below .500 away from TD Garden.

Again, the Bruins take on the Red Wings at 8 p.m. Saturday on WMUR-TV. Sean McDonough, Ray Ferraro and Emily Kaplan will have the call.
