After failing to secure a playoff berth last year, the Bruins are back in the postseason. By clinching the first wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference, Boston has shown that it is not just a playoff participant, but a dangerous contender.

The Bruins are ready for a first-round clash with the Sabres, who finished atop the Atlantic Division standings with 109 points. History favors Boston, as the Bruins have survived and advanced in six of the eight previous playoff meetings with the Sabres.

The regular season series suggests a razor-thin margin. Boston won three of the four matchups, but two of those victories could have gone the other way in overtime.

Here is the complete series schedule for Bruins vs. Sabres, including TV and streaming options for playoff games.
