Latest news and updates about the Bruins
Welcome to the last road game of the regular season, folks! The B’s are back in Columbus for the second time in two Sundays, the last of which was a wild comeback win in favor of the visitors. Since then, things haven’t gone terribly well for the B’s, but…hey, they’re in the playoffs! That’s what […]
On April 10th in 2010, Boston Bruins forward Patrice Bergeron prevented a third period own goal stopping Blake Wheeler's pass from entering their empty net during a delayed Jerome Samson penalty up 3-2 in a must-win game against the Carolina Hurricanes.

Well, that’s that then. Not mathematically, but it doesn’t take a savant to see we’re out of the playoff hunt. What makes it worse is the manner of it – drifting out of the race with a jarring set of bumps and whimpers. No drama, no fight, just a slow slide into irrelevance. For much […]
It’s not exactly the way you want to clinch a playoff spot, but you’ll take it! After throwing away a point or two via a late regulation loss to Tampa Saturday afternoon, the Bruins officially clinched a playoff spot via a Detroit Red Wings loss later in the day. The Red Wings, playing at home, […]
Game Eighty: Tampa Bay Lightning (48-25-6) at Boston Bruins (43-26-10) Time: 12:30 PM Location: TD Garden, Boston – Where, in 1919, a 2.3 million gallon flood of molasses raced down the streets of the North End neighborhood at approximately 35 MPH.

Welcome to this season’s very last Public Preview®, the combination preview/Public Skate you’ve come to know and love! Let’s get started with today’s basics: Tampa comes into this game with 102 points, good for third place in the Atlantic Division. Like the Bruins, they have three games left, but find themselves two points behind Montreal […]
Buffalo Sabres forward Alex Tuch is the NHL's top pending unrestricted free agent (UFA). The Sabres are certainly going to look to keep him around, and there is a good chance he will stay put in Buffalo. However, it would also be understandable if he looked to land a major payday in free agency. Due to this, let's look at three teams that could target Tuch if he becomes a UFA this July. Boston Bruins The Bruins have been connected to Tuch in the past, and it would make a lot of sen...
For the second year in a row, the Wolf Pack will watch the Calder Cup Playoffs from home.
Welcome to Friday, folks! The Bruins won’t be back in action until Saturday afternoon, when they’ll host the Tampa Bay Lightning at TD Garden at 12:30 PM.

The Carolina Hurricanes (50-22-6) are on the road tonight to take on the Chicago Blackhawks (28-36-14) at 8:30 PM, two days after clinching the Metropolitan Division. A 6-5 win over the Boston Bruins on Tuesday allowed the Canes to clinch the division with four games left to go, as the playoffs inch closer. If the […]
After a short stint in Providence where he got to show what he could do against professionals, the Bruins announced on Wednesday afternoon that they’ve signed James Hagens to his entry-level contract (ELC). The three-year ELC begins with the current (2025-2026) season and carries a cap hit of $975,000 at the NHL level. With his […]
It is Wednesday, my dudes. There are a few different ways of looking at the current state of the Boston Bruins: The good news is that all of those things can be true at once, and last night’s 6-5 OT loss in Carolina was kind of a microcosm of all of them. The Bruins looked […]
For a last regular season game, the fans in the Lenovo Center on Thursday got one entertaining affair. A game that saw multiple lead changes, six different Hurricanes scoring, a Boston Bruins hat trick, a goalie being replaced, and an overtime winner all equaled a 6-5 win by the Carolina Hurricanes over the Boston Bruins. […]
The final week of the regular season is upon us, and with just five games remaining on the schedule, the Flyers are looking to keep the ball rolling and hold on to their recently grabbed playoff spot. It won’t be easy, but they’ve got some momentum behind them, coming off a massive overtime win over the Bruins on Sunday, and they’ll be hoping that they can keep it rolling into a win over their rivals in the Devils.

Maybe an old-school photo can reverse the vibes for the Bruins? Yes, that IS current GM Don Sweeney celebrating with Sergei Samsonov, Joe Thornton, and, eventually, Kyle McLaren! That photo comes from way back in 1999, when the Bruins eliminated the Hurricanes in the first round of the playoffs. I still remember the Boston Globe […]
On last week’s 32 Thoughts podcast, Elliotte Friedman noted that the Maple Leafs are eyeing the Boston Bruins’ retool with a similar goal in mind. The Boston retool is something we’ve discussed before in the lead-up to the Leafs’ trade deadline. The Bruins made a series of trades and ultimately ended up with three top-nine […] The post Is more urgency needed for getting the Maple Leafs’ new management in place? – Maple Leafs Notebook appeared first on Maple Leafs Hotstove .
The Philadelphia Flyers have needed to work on the power play for a very long time, and head coach Rick Tocchet knows that. So, he’s trying out some temporary solutions. On Sunday against Boston, the Flyers had a 5-on-3 for nearly two minutes in overtime. It was a very low-risk option, but Philadelphia head coach Rick Tocchet went with five forwards for that power play. The collection of Christian Dvorak, Porter Martone, Travis Konecny, Trevor Zegras, and Tyson Foerster took the ice to go...
It’s been a long road, but for the last time in the regular season the Carolina Hurricanes will take the ice in the Lenovo Center. They’ll do so—again stop me if you heard this before—with a chance to clinch the Metropolitan Division and home ice advantage in at least the first two rounds of the […]

The Boston Bruins should be looking to add at least one top-six winger to their roster during the offseason. It is clear that they could use more skill in their top six, so it could be a busy summer for the Black and Gold. Because of this, let's look at three wingers who the Bruins should strongly consider targeting during the offseason. Brock Boeser, Vancouver Canucks With the Canucks being in a full rebuild, the possibility of Boeser being moved during the summer is certainly the...
Whatever narratives you can make about this Flyers season thus far, you would have to admit that they have caught fire at the right time. Their dramatic 2-1 win against the Bruins on April 5th allowed them to leapfrog the Islanders for the final Metropolitan division playoff spot, as the regular season winds to a close and the playoff race starts to thin out. And as they have started to really fine-tune Rick Tocchet style hockey, they may have gotten the biggest boost of all in the ...
On the game schedule, the Islanders are idle for several days, but the events around them are anything but. On Sunday, the long-looming games in hand came to roost as the Senators beat the Hurricanes and the Flyers beat the Bruins, both climbing above the Isles to push them out of a playoff spot — […]
*It’s been a busy weekend around here, folks! The Flyers kicked it off with a big win on the road over the Islanders on Friday. In case you missed it, you can relive it with us here. [ BSH ] *It was a big win, as we said, but it was a particularly emphatic showing that Matvei Michkov delivered on a more individual level. [ BSH ] *The Flyers kicked off the weekend on a high note, and they closed it out on one too! They came away with a hard-fought win over the Bruins in overtime last ...
