The Detroit Red Wings represent the third recent opponent coming into TD Garden to face the Boston Bruins on the second of back-to-back games. The Bruins are 2-0-0 so far, having taken appropriate advantage of the Calgary Flames and Pittsburgh Penguins. Can they do it against the resurgent Red Wings, who have won four inContinue reading “Red Wings at Bruins”

Bruins back home vs. Flames
There’s a lot of anxiety around the beatings taken by Joonas Korpisalo in the middle of this NHL season, so the fact the Finnish backup is getting the first start now that the Boston Bruins have returned home from their semi-successful west-coast swing, it’s about more than the numbers with the “Korporal.” The Bruins, plainly,Continue reading “Bruins back home vs. Flames”
Bruins’ die for 2026 is cast
The National Hockey League trade deadline is not today, it’s March 6, and the way this season is going, don’t expect a repeat of what General Manager Don Sweeney did at last year’s trade deadline. With 41 games down – the halfway point of the Boston Bruins’ 2025-26 season – there are 20 more gamesContinue reading “Bruins’ die for 2026 is cast”
Bruins – Canadiens
Magical words for so many years, but rare in this era is the opportunity to engage hockey’s greatest rivalry when for over 10 years there hasn’t been a playoff series between the Montreal Canadiens and the Boston Bruins. The balanced regular-season schedule may guarantee an annual appearance by the Edmonton Oilers (and possibly Connor McDavid),Continue reading “Bruins – Canadiens”
Sens at Bruins
A family commitment kept me from last night’s shootout loss against Vancouver – the Bruins’ first loser point of the season 36 games in(!) – but I watched it on replay when I got home and probably replayed the two quick, early-third-period goals that the Canucks scored on Fraser Minten’s line that turned the gameContinue reading “Sens at Bruins”
Oilers at Bruins
Telling observation in the early going of tonight’s Oilers-Bruins game from Matt Vautour of Mass Live. Vautour noted that the sight of Connor McDavid on TD Garden ice served a reminder of what it was like to have the 4 Nations Tournament in this building last winter. McDavid, of course, scored the winning goal ofContinue reading “Oilers at Bruins”
Black & Gold Friday: Rangers at Bruins
This is not the stinker the Edmonton Oilers played at home upon their return from a 3-out-4-point finish to their road trip last week in Florida. If there is any too-much-turkey in the Bruins today after falling behind 2-0 to the Rangers in the first period of the annual Black Friday matinee, then it’s aContinue reading “Black & Gold Friday: Rangers at Bruins”
Bruins need to make the right deal
When asked about their favorite game atmospheres, National Hockey League players usually mention the Bell Centre, but it’s become the house of horrors for Charlie McAvoy. If Boston Bruins General Manager Don Sweeney is on the phone this week, he’s trying to identify an available, experienced, right-shot defenseman he can acquire and not only toContinue reading “Bruins need to make the right deal”
Canes at Bruins
Roster changes were made in advance of tonight’s game between the Boston Bruins and the Carolina Hurricanes. While local media awaited word on the status of defenseman Charlie McAvoy (who took a puck to the jaw, knocking him out of Saturday night’s win in Montreal – it’s still a waiting game), GM Don Sweeney announcedContinue reading “Canes at Bruins”
Sens at Bruins
The Boston Bruins certainly owe a shellacking to the Ottawa Senators after the embarrassing L stuck on them by the home team that incidentally led to this winning streak that the Bruins are now on. It’s also weird that Brady Tkachuk was not part of that debacle on Oct. 27 and won’t be part ofContinue reading “Sens at Bruins”
