The Boston Bruins’ first-round playoff matchup has been set. They will face off against the Washington Capitals on Saturday night, with puck drop at 7:15 pm. These Capitals look a bit different than the team who has haunted the Bruins for almost seven years. For one, the Capitals have long-time Bruin captain Zdeno Chara deployed

Nine goals were scored yesterday at the TD Garden. After the second period, the game was tied at one. The flood gates opened for both teams in the third as seven goals were scored. The Bruins looked to be in control after David Pastrnak’s twentieth goal of the year just 21 seconds into the

Boston’s Head Coach, Bruce Cassidy, made his comments clear at the end of Sunday’s 1-0 loss to Pittsburgh. He called out certain players’ lack of effort, and most of the team answered last night. The Bruins looked more energized in the first period last night than Sunday’s 3:00 pm game. Bruins’ goaltender, Tuukka

Are we starting to see what the Bruins could be the rest of the year? The Bruins dominated the New York Islanders in back-to-back nights at the TD Garden. Before Thursday night, the Bruins were 0-2-3 against the Islanders this season and have now rattled off two straight victories in regulation. Last night, the Bruins got

Since the trade deadline, the Bruins played their second game, where General Manager Don Sweeney acquired three new faces. Mike Reilly, Taylor Hall, and Curtis Lazar have given the Bruins a much-needed boost to their game and

The New York Islanders are a problem for the Boston Bruins. The Bruins have yet to beat the Islanders this season, posting a 0-2-3 record. The Bruins looked like a team who benefited from a week off and ready to defeat the Islanders in the first period last night. Unfortunately, Tuukka Rask did not return to the ice

With Tuukka Rask out due to injury, the Bruins turned to their goaltending pipeline for a spark. Dan Vladar made his NHL regular-season debut, and his first career start last night. You may remember, he came in for relief last year and got peppered. Granted, the game he came in was over, and the Bruins had

In the first few minutes of the first period, the Bruins looked like a new team compared to their last performance against New Jersey. Unfortunately, as the game went on, the Bruins’ weaknesses became more apparent. The Bruins have not won against the first-place Islanders yet this season, extending their winless record to

The New Jersey Devils are unlikely to make the playoffs this year, and for the Bruins, that is great news. The Bruins have a 1-2-1 record against New Jersey this year, and their only win came in a shootout. The Devils’ Kyle Palmeri scored the game’s only goal came at 15:23 in the third period. Not a great
