Off-season prognostications can be a tricky thing sometimes.

Chara probable as Bruins D looks to continue their progression

BRIGHTON — For six games, the Bruins went to battle without their 6-9 captain Zdeno Chara.

Bruins finally give Anton Khudobin his first win

For the first two months of the season, the only Bruin goaltender to come out victorious was Tuukka Rask.
