The Boston Bruins will be looking to take advantage of a struggling Florida Panthers team when the two clubs face off at TD Garden on Saturday afternoon. After hitting a four-game slump in mid-March, the Bruins finished out the month strong by collecting three straight wins, giving them a slightly stronger hold on the second wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference with a three-point lead over the Tampa Bay Lightning. The B’s also are only one point back of the Toronto Maple Leafs for third place in the Atlantic Division. The Panthers, on the other hand, are riding a three-game skid into their matchup on Boston’s home ice and are well out of

Berkshire Bank Hockey Night In New England: Projected Bruins-Islanders Lines
The Boston Bruins face one of their biggest tests of the season Saturday night, and they’ll have to do it without their starting goalie. Tuukka Rask is day to day with a lower body injury, and he didn’t travel with the B’s to New York for their showdown with the Islanders. That means backup Anton Khudobin will be in net as the Bruins try to keep pace with the Islanders for the final wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference. Both teams have 82 points, but New York officially passed Boston for the final playoff spot in the East thanks to its 4-3 shootout win over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Friday. The B’s now are
Johnny Gaudreau Is Crushed By Leo Komarov, Leaves Flames Vs. Maple Leafs Game Te…
Share this: Leo Komarov reminded Johnny Gaudreau that pain is one of hockey’s necessary evils. Komarov rocked Gaudreau with a huge check Monday in the Toronto Maple Leafs’ 4-0 win over the Calgary Flames.

Berkshire Bank Hockey Night In New England: Projected Bruins-Red Wings Lineups
The Boston Bruins are coming off a bad 4-0 loss at home to the New York Islanders on Monday afternoon, and they face another important game versus an inferior team in the Detroit Red Wings on the road Wednesday night. Boston sits in second place in the Atlantic Division, but that position is a bit deceiving. The Bruins have a slim 1-point lead on the Toronto Maple Leafs and Ottawa Senators in the division, and both of these teams also have five games in hand on the B’s. Therefore, the Bruins must go on some kind of win streak — or at least establish some consistency — to keep pace in a playoff
Bruins Continue Poor Play On Home Ice With 4-0 Loss To Islanders
The Boston Bruins haven’t played great hockey at home this season, but they had the chance to reverse that trend during Monday’s matinee against the lowly New York Islanders.

Hear NESN’s Jack Edwards and Andy Brickley break down the loss in the video above from “NESN Sports Today,” presented by People’s United Bank. ... NESN.com
