It’s hard to forget the shellacking the Boston Bruins were dealt by the Washington Capitals on opening night in Washington D.C. The Bruins have come a long way since that 7-0 drubbing against the defending Stanley Cup champions, but there always seems to be a little bit more on the line whenever the B’s take on the Caps. Perhaps it’s the recent track record. Washington is 10-0-3 in its last 13 contests against the Bruins. But the Black and Gold are riding a five-game winning streak entering Thursday night’s contest at TD Garden, and it seems like Boston has its eyes set on turning the tables on a team that has given them

Berkshire Bank Hockey Night In New England: Projected Bruins-Sabres Lines, Pairings
The Boston Bruins look to remain undefeated in 2019 when they welcome the Buffalo Sabres to TD Garden on Saturday for an Atlantic Division matchup. The two teams each have 50 points, so a win for either side will be crucial in the standings. This will be the fourth and final time the clubs meet in the regular season. Buffalo will look to even the season series 2-2 after the Black and Gold won their most recent matchup last Saturday in comeback fashion. A win for Boston also would make it four straight. Boston will get David Backes back after he served a three-game suspension and will return to the second line to

Berkshire Bank Hockey Night In New England: Projected Bruins-Lightning Lines, Pairings
The Bruins have come face-to-face with a runaway train at a pretty bad time. Boston, which has lost three of its last four games, is in Tampa on Thursday for a tilt with the Lightning, who sit atop the NHL with 43 points. After an abysmal showing Tuesday night against the Florida Panthers, Bruins head coach Bruce Cassidy shook up the lineup during Wednesday’s practice, and is expected to roll with those changes against the Bolts. Joakim Nordstrom will move up to the second line — which was a move that worked out well earlier in the season. Sean Kuraly and David Backes will hop up to the third trio alongside Danton Heninen,
Celtics Notes: Gordon Hayward’s Huge Night Propels Celtics Past Timberwolves
Gordon Hayward has been under the microscope since he suffered his gruesome ankle/leg injury last October. After his devastating injury, some wondered if he ever would be the same. Those questions have haunted the 2017 All-Star throughout the season as he has been working to knock the rust off. The Butler product started the season slow, and even was moved to an unfamiliar role on the bench, but has shown glimpses of his former self lately. On Saturday night, Hayward showed the NBA world he still can ball at an elite level. Hayward was the knight in shining armor the Boston Celtics needed Saturday in their 118-109 win over the Minnesota Timberwol... NESN.com
Berkshire Bank Hockey Night In New England: Projected Bruins-Canadiens Lines, Pairings
The Boston Bruins have a chance to extend the lead over their NHL rival Saturday night. The Bruins have a slim one-point lead over the Montreal Canadiens in the Atlantic Division and can put a little distance between them with a victory at Bell Centre. This is the second meeting between the historic rivals this season, with Montreal claiming the first game 3-0 on Oct. 27 at TD Garden. Not only does Boston look to even the season series at one game apiece, it hopes to win consecutive games for the first time since Nov. 10-11 after a 2-1 overtime win against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Friday. The lines look similar to that
Berkshire Bank Hockey Night In New England: Projected Bruins-Red Wings Lines, Pairings
Dreading spending Thanksgiving Eve with your family? Have no fear, the Boston Bruins are here to put your mind at ease for a few hours. The Bruins, minus Patrice Bergeron and Zdeno Chara, will travel to Detroit to face off with the Red Wings at Little Caesars Arena in the fourth and final game of what has been a tumultuous road trip for the Black and Gold. Boston has lost Bergeron (sternoclavicular, rib), Chara (knee) and John Moore (lower body) during the last three games, but still has managed to post a 1-1-1 record during that time and can head back home with five of a possible eight points with a win Wednesday.
