Public Skate: Bruins vs. Capitals

Welcome back to another riveting edition of the Preview Skate! Public Preview? In any case, here we are, with another Saturday afternoon game for the B’s. This time, they’ll be facing the Washington Capitals in D.C. The Capitals remain on the edge of the playoff picture, sitting at 73 points. That’s five points behind the […]

Morning Skate: Bait

You can’t win ‘em all, right? The Bruins gave the idea of never losing at home again a pretty good effort, but they fell to the Sharks at TD Garden last night for their first home loss since December. The Sharks jumped out to a 4-0 lead before the Bruins attempted to make a game […]

Recap: McAvoy’s OT goal gives Bruins win over Kings

Charlie McAvoy giveth away, Charlie McAvoy scoreth…or something like that. One game after some loose play with the puck cost the Bruins defenseman in OT in Pittsburgh, McAvoy scored the game-winner 39 seconds into overtime to give the Bruins a 2-1 win over the Kings. The win extended the Bruins’ home winning streak to 13 […]

Public Skate: Bruins vs. Kings

Happy Tuesday, folks! The Bruins are back at home tonight, a place where they’ve been quite literally unbeatable of late. The Kings are coming off of an OT win on Monday night, so logic says the Bruins should be the fresher, better rested team. However, logic doesn’t mean much when you remember that we are […]

Recap: Bruins blow 3-0 lead, lose to Penguins in OT

It was an evening of blown leads for the Bruins on Sunday, as they let a 3-0 second period lead and a 4-3 third period lead slip away before losing to Pittsburgh in OT, 5-4. Tommy Novak scored the game-winning goal 17 seconds into overtime, taking advantage of a Bruins turnover and a bit of […]

Public Skate: Bruins vs. Penguins

4:30 on a Sunday would seem more normal a start time for a Boston-Pittsburgh game in the NFL, but here we are! The Bruins and Penguins face one another for the second time this week, with Tuesday’s Bruins win coming at TD Garden. While the Penguins appear to be in relatively comfortable playoff position at […]

Morning Skate: Busy

Happy Sunday, folks! The Bruins turned in a much-improved performance on Saturday afternoon, beating the Washington Capitals at TD Garden by a score of 2-1. The B’s got goals from Pavel Zacha and Viktor Arvidsson, plus 22 saves from Jeremy Swayman. The game probably could have gone a bit differently if Tom Wilson didn’t miss […]

Public Skate: Bruins vs. Capitals

Welcome to Saturday, folks! After a relatively quiet trade deadline, the Bruins are back in action today — and it’s a pretty important game in the playoff race. As always, treat that 12:30 start time with an asterisk, as this is an ABC game. We could place bets on what time puck drop actually happens. […]

Bruins acquire forward Lukas Reichel from Vancouver

After a small move involving minor league players earlier on deadline day, the Bruins wrapped up their business with another minor move. Just after the deadline had passed, the Bruins announced that they’ve acquired forward Lukas Reichel from the Vancouver Canucks. (Side note: the press release used weird phrasing, which was “Bruins agree to acquire […]

Public Skate: The NHL Trade Deadline!

The biggest and most chaotic day of the NHL Calendar is here! The 2026 NHL trade deadline is today (March 6) at 3 PM Eastern, with teams either loading up for a playoff run or selling players and preparing for the future. Boston’s place in that pile however…is less certain than it was last year. […]

Public Skate: Bruins vs. Predators

It’s the last game before the trade deadline! Everyone remain calm, or freak out, if you’d rather do that. I’m not your boss. The Bruins and Predators face off in a game with playoff implications for both teams (though you could say that about pretty much every game from here on out, I guess). The […]

Recap: Swayman backstops Bruins to 2-1 win over Penguins

After getting partially goalie’d on Saturday afternoon, the Bruins responded with a partial goalie’ing of their own on Tuesday. Jeremy Swayman made 34 saves, including going 28-for-28 in the second and third periods, to help lead the Bruins to a 2-1 win over Pittsburgh at TD Garden. All three goals in this game were scored […]

Public Skate: Bruins vs. Penguins

Welcome to Tuesday Night Hockey, folks! After a disappointing showing in Philadelphia, the Bruins will face another team from the Keystone State as they welcome the Penguins to TD Garden.

Welcome to a new week, folks! The Bruins won’t be back in action until tomorrow night, when they host the streaking Pittsburgh Penguins at TD Garden.

Recap: Bruins stymied by Vladar in 3-1 loss to Philly

In a tightly played contest, it ended up being Dan Vladar who made a few extra saves. The former Bruin out-dueled Jeremy Swayman, stopping 26 of 27 shots and leading the Flyers to a 3-1 win. Vladar was at his best in the second period, when he stopped all 16 shots he faced. This game […]

Public Skate: Bruins vs. Flyers

With a 3 PM start, you’re getting the rare “Preview/Public Skate” combo! Hold onto this post, it may be worth money someday. Prior to today’s game, here are the basics: I say “3ish” for the start time, as these ABC national games always seem to kind of just start whenever they want. 3:01, 3:12, 3:99…you […]

Recap: Korpisalo, Arvidsson lift Bruins to 4-2 win

With Jeremy Swayman given an extra night off to acclimate to post-Olympic life, Joonas Korpisalo filled in more than admirably. The former Columbus netminder made 36 saves, including several big ones, to lead the Bruins to a 4-2 win over the Blue Jackets at TD Garden. Viktor Arvidsson led the way on offense with two […]

Public Skate: Bruins vs. Blue Jackets

No, your eyes are not deceiving you — that IS PJ Axelsson and Jared Boll! For whatever reason, that was one of the first images that popped up when searching for “Bruins Columbus,” along with UCLA playing Ohio State. It seemed like a good idea to start the second half Public Skates with some nostalgia. […]
