Last week, the NHL announced its Return to Play action. The plan allows teams to return to NHL activity based on individual states’ reopening laws and a proposal to begin the NHL playoffs in July. The Bruins finished the year with the highest point total in the NHL, which awards them the President’s Trophy. They have also secured a place in
