said<\/a> on Saturday after the Bruins\u2019 practice. <\/p>\n\u201cBeing able to play an outdoor game and experience that \u2013 I would\u2019ve never guessed that they could pull this off growing up as a kid, but it\u2019s going to be pretty special.\u201d<\/p>\n
Although Peeke will have plenty of family and friends in attendance on Saturday, the focus for him and the Bruins is getting the win and two points against a division rival.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt breaks us up from the normal routine. I think we\u2019re so wired to waking up, coming to the rink, playing a game, going home, all the same type of stuff,\u201d Peeke said. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\u201cI think this comes at a good time, where we\u2019re playing good hockey, we feel good about ourselves. But at the same time, we know it\u2019s a necessary two points.\u201d<\/p>\n
Peeke enters the game with four goals and seven assists for 11 points in 54 games. He\u2019s set to skate on Boston\u2019s third-pairing on Sunday alongside Nikita Zadorov.<\/p>\n
