The Tampa Bay Lightning beat Boston 4-0 Tuesday night to move into a tie for the Atlantic Division lead with the Bruins.
It's been five years since Andrew Ference laced up his skates for the Bruins, but Boston fans will always love the former defenseman.
With the playoffs now just over a week away, the Bruins are welcoming back a key player.
Brad Marchand has once again been disciplined by the NHL's department of player safety. But this time, he avoided suspension.
If the Bruins win on Tuesday? You can pretty much pencil them in as Atlantic Division champions.
Boston scored with less than four seconds remaining in regulation, but Philadelphia came away with a 4-3 overtime victory on Easter Sunday.
Bruins defenseman Brandon Carlo suffered a broken left fibula and is going to be out for 6 to 8 weeks, according to a report in The Boston Sports Journal.
Jake DeBrusk scored in his return to the Bruins lineup, and the Bruins sailed to a 5-1 win over Florida.
Looking ahead to potential playoff opponents, here's how the Bruins have fared so far against the other seven teams in the postseason, plus Florida.
The Bruins don't need 6-foot-5, 208-pound defenseman Brandon Carlo to be The Incredible Hulk. They don't even need him to be Zdeno Chara or Adam McQuaid.
It looked and felt like playoff hockey at the Garden, where Tuukka Rask and David Pastrnak were ready, willing and able to get physical.
Rask is known for being at his best when he's calm in net, but he can also have a temper that sometimes results in clumsy self-punishment, equipment destruction and the abuse of milk crates. The Bruins benefited from a little bit of both sides of Rask's personality in their 4-2 win against the Lightning at TD Garden.
The Boston Bruins took over first place in the Eastern Conference with a 4-2 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Thursday night.
Chara said at the start of the 2017-18 season his priority was to keep playing and to do it for the Bruins, and his performance this season, during which he turned 41, made it impossible for the Bruins to play around in negotiations.
Here are some observations and thoughts I had after the Bruins earned their fifth point of the road trip with a shootout loss in Winnipeg.
