Bruins aim to keep climbing vs. Rangers (Yahoo Sports)

It wasn't pretty, but we got the two points," David Backes said after Tuesday night's 4-1 victory over the Arizona Coyotes raised Boston's record under interim coach Bruce Cassidy to 7-1. While the Bruins, continuing their fight to end a two-year playoff drought, are flying, the New York Rangers, who are actually entrenched in a playoff spot, have stumbled.
