Through 13 games on Thursday night, the Bruins still occupy the first wildcard.
Now, though, the Bruins’ playoff odds are at 72% according to MoneyPuck. They have 10 games remaining, six on the road, and seven against playoff teams. They also have three sets of back-to-backs left.
The Bruins are back on the ice today for a practice at Warrior.
Around the league, it was a busy night in the Eastern Conference. Two matchups pitted four teams in the playoff push against each other, and the Islanders and Flyers picked up big wins over Central Division teams. The Penguins took down the Senators, and the Canadiens beat the Blue Jackets.
All three Hockey East teams are out of the NCAA tournament with losses yesterday, but three Bruins’ prospects got onto the scoresheet.
Happy Friday, catch up on Bruins and league news in today’s Daily Bean:
Boston Bruins
ROAD NARRATIVE CHANGING: The Bruins switched a seven-game road losing streak into points in their last six road games. It comes at the right time, too, as six of the 10 remaining games are on the road, and 7 of the 10 are against playoff opponents.
ICYMI: NESN revealed a new scorebug for the Red Sox yesterday. One can think that the Bruins will get a new graphics package next season (though the size of the scorebug could be smaller).
First hit on the first pitch of 2026!
