Black Friday game note: Grzelcyk returns and it's a 6 p.m. puck drop instead of the traditional matinee.
The 2024-25 Bruins schedule is out. Some notable dates 🧵:
Oct. 8 season opener in Florida
Oct. 10 home opener vs. Montreal
Oct. 19 first stop in Utah
Oct. 26 first matchup vs. Toronto
Nov. 9 vs. Ottawa - Ullmark's return
Feb. 8 vs. Vegas
Feb. 9-21 Idle (Four Nations Tournament)
Feb. 22 vs. Anaheim (First game back from Four Nations)
March 20-29 - Vegas and California trip with a final stop in Detroit
April 15 vs. New Jersey - regular season finale
Unless we've forgotten a date, we've only spotted three games vs. the Habs this year: home opener, Centennial Game and April 3 - lone appearance in Montreal.
This scheduling format downright stinks.
