Game Day Preview: Bruins vs. Flames
February 13, 2018
The Bruins haven’t exactly looked sharp in the last two games, but they still wound up going 1-1 in that span. That subpar play will have to change Tuesday night as the Calgary Flames come into TD Garden with one of the best road marks in the National Hockey League (16-6-5). Whether it was head-scratching decisions, […]

February 11, 2018
Entering Sunday night’s tilt, both the Bruins and Devils had little time to dwell on their setbacks to the Sabres and Blue Jackets, respectively.

The Boston Bruins had a December – and January – to remember. February began even better.

One by one, the Bruins are carving through the National Hockey League.

February 9, 2018
Patrice Bergeron’s stellar 200-foot play throughout his 14-year career has earned him four Selke Awards. Barring any injury or major dropoff in production, Bergeron will surpass Bob Gainey for most Selke wins at June’s NHL Awards in Las Vegas. Given that he’s on pace for a career-year in 2017-18, Bergeron may have his ‘Hart’ set […]

Bruce Cassidy half-joked that the Bruins “just got sick of losing” after their 3-1 bounce-back victory against the Blues Thursday, but their third win in a row since snapping their 18-game point streak was another complete effort. Tuukka Rask, who’s on a 21-game points streak of his own, provided consistency with 26 saves, while the […]
