Bruins fans are treated tonight with a talent trio of NHL superstardom, as the Colorado Avalanche are in town to play the Boston Bruins. Defenseman Cale Makar, center Nathan MacKinnon and winger Mikko Rantanen. The Avs also have Alexandar Georgiev in net after getting the night completely off for Tuesday’s 7-4 beatdown of the SenatorsContinue reading “Avalanche at Boston”

The Boston Bruins are looking to come out strong and avoid the league-wide tendency to be sluggish after a grueling road trip (all four games went to overtime) and, at the same time, a matinee on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. The Bruins held a moment of reflection to honor Dr. King’s legacy and whatContinue reading “Devils at Bruins”

The last time the Bruins and the Tampa Bay Lightning met on Nov. 20 in Florida, the Bruins coughed up a late, 4-3 lead and returned with only one point instead of two. Since then, the bounce-back win in Sunrise notwithstanding, the Bruins became an often-shaky and usually up-and-down type of team. Personnel tweaks leveragedContinue reading “Bolts at Bruins”

The Boston Bruins have one of many two-in-two weekends, the opener coming with the advantage of a day off following Wednesday’s 4-1 win in Buffalo, a day off and a practice. This kind of week is precious and few in today’s NHL, and it will only be remembered in a positive light if the BruinsContinue reading “Bruins host Devils, Merk makes debut”

Both teams played last night, the Ranger winning handilyContinue reading “Frederic gets his licks; Rangers come back to get W”

The Boston Bruins needed a response game this afternoon at home against the improving Arizona Coyotes, and two goals and an assist by David Pastrnak and some timely saves by Linus Ullmark led the response in a 5-3 victory over the Arizona Coyotes this afternoon at TD Garden. The Bruins played the game without CharlieContinue reading “Bruins lose Zacha, find their way past Coyotes”

Connor Clifton had a primary assist on Buffalo’s second goal and threw a big hit that created the 2-on-1 that led to the Sabres’ third goal in a well-deserved, 3-1 road win over the sluggish Bruins on Thursday night at the Garden. The main concern from the Bruins’ end will be Charlie McAvoy, who ranContinue reading “Clifton, Sabres simply better than slow-starting Bruins”

The San Jose Sharks skated onto TD Garden ice tonight a much better team than their 5-15-2 record would suggest, and it took a strong, structured effort from the Boston Bruins to make their superior talent pay off in a 3-0 victory that snaps a three-game debacle streak. The Bruins showed patience through a staleContinue reading “Bruins right their ship”

The Boston Bruins’ longest-serving playoff beard? Not the one that Raymond Bourque began growing on April 5, 1990, for Game 1 of the Adams Division opening-round series against Hartford and shaved off prior to the final game of the 1990 Stanley Cup final against Edmonton on May 24. No, that distinction belongs to Lanny LeeContinue reading “Tom Larson stayed the course”
