Boston Bruins

The Boston Bruins have locked up a playoff slot and the Atlantic Division. Now their focus is on securing the East and waiting to see who will have the misfortune of crossing the Black and Gold.
The Bruins have had a banner week, as they’re still on a nearly month-long point streak. Patrice Bergeron earned second star of the week honors from the NHL, and Jarome Iginla was named first star for the month of March. This will be their big chance to rest and let some of their AHL talent get a game or two in.
