The Leafs last game was an away game on January 12 against the Detroit Red Wings, which Toronto lost by a score of 4-1. The Leafs have a record of 26-10-7 so far. The Boston Bruins last played at home on January 12 against the Seattle Kraken. The Bruins lost by a score of 3-0, and their current league record is 32-5-4. The team we love to hate the…

When the puck is dropped at center ice at the TD Garden on Jan. 14 against the Toronto Maple Leafs, it will be the official start to the second half of the 2022-23 regular season for the Boston Bruins. As the top team in the NHL with a 32-5-4 record, first-year coach Jim Montgomery and his team have far exceeded preseason expectations. There have…

A team that's halfway through the NHL schedule with less than 10 regulation losses should feel good about itself and provide fans ample positives ahead of playoffs. But these are the Maple Leafs, whose string of six first-round defeats in the Shanaplan era keep clouding such semi-annual midway mirth. You can sense the pessimism in Leafs Nation.…

The Philadelphia Flyers will soon make a decision on their crowded goaltender situation. Do they keep three goalies? Demote Sam Ersson to the Phantoms, even though he starred on the three-game California trip? Keep Ersson as Carter Hart's backup and try to sneak Felix Sandstrom through waivers to send him to Lehigh Valley? Decisions, decisions,…

The Florida Panthers will have their hands full again against the league-leading Boston Bruins tonight at TD Garden. And the injury bug will not do them any favors. Again. The last time the Panthers made the trip to Boston, they had to play a man down with Brandon Montour nursing an injury and later had to play with four defensemen after Aaron…

The Boston Bruins have set an NHL record by opening a season with 12 wins in a row at home and will look to make it a lucky 13. The Tampa Bay Lightning had won seven games in a row at TD Garden before Boston's 3-2 win in March so the run of success at home could be in jeopardy. Things didn't go very well the first time this season when Tampa Bay…

The Boston Bruins own the NHL's second-best record (and fewest losses) at 18-3-0 entering Tuesday, and there are many reasons for this record-setting early-season success. A soft schedule isn't one of them. Boston has played 13 games against teams currently in a playoff spot or within two points of a berth. The B's have won 11 of those matchups by…

The Boston Bruins and New Jersey Devils continue to roll along while defending Stanley Cup champion Colorado has played its way back into the list of the hottest teams in the NHL. The biggest surprise has to be a Seattle Kraken team that is in its second season of existence. On the other side, the teams that were the most active sellers in the last…

Positivity is a beautiful thing, but nothing hits the spot like an occasional glass of haterade. Life is all about balance, so let's take a look at each NHL team's emerging red flag one month into the season. Boston Bruins: Ruining the vibes The Bruins are off to one of their best starts in franchise history at 12-2-0. They aren't just winning…

The coaching changes seem to agree with the Vegas Golden Knights and Boston Bruins. Bruce Cassidy's current and former teams lead the way in the list of the best teams in the NHL at the current time. Vegas has won seven games in a row while the Bruins lead the NHL with a+21 goal differential. It has been a different story for slumping Pittsburgh…

Colorado has won 17 straight games at home, and the league's hottest team will welcome Boston to Ball Arena on Wednesday night. We're breaking down the NHL betting value for you in our Bruins vs. Avalanche picks and predictions. The Colorado Avalanche will look to push their home winning streak to 17 games tonight versus the visiting Boston Bruins,…

The Bruins are a strong squad off to a fantastic start, but they're also the road team gearing up for the second half of a back-to-back and their third game in four days. The odds are showing Boston as the favorite, but is fatigue reason enough for you to side with Columbus instead? Let's start with what makes the Bruins such a force in the first…

We're only two weeks into the 2022-23 NHL season and there are already fanbases across the league panicking over their favorite team's poor start. Early season struggles typically are a bad sign, too. Not many teams that are outside of a playoff spot by U.S. Thanksgiving end up getting into the tournament come April. We're still a few weeks away…

Carey Price turned away 35 of 36 shots in Game 1 and allowed zero second-chance opportunities as Montreal capitalized on a shaken-up Leafs lineup and stole the series opener. The Toronto Maple Leafs will look to even their Round 1 series with the Montreal Canadiens Saturday night after losing Thursday's opener and their captain in the…

In net, the whole position was obviously an unknown. Jack Campbell was an unrestricted free agent and Petr Mrazek was coming off of a nightmare first season in Toronto. Both are in the other conference now. Logically, betting on any two goalies in the league that have flashed ability/shown some form of extended success in their careers to better…

When the puck drops at 7 p.m. Wednesday in Washington (TNT, 98.5 FM), the executive branch of the Boston Bruins will be looking for signs that it deemed unforgivably absent from Game 7 of their opening-round playoff ouster on May 14 in Raleigh. Perhaps, had Carolina toppled defending champion Tampa Bay in the second round and made the conference…

The Boston Bruins are an interesting team entering the 2022-23 season. Many casual observers don't view the B's as a real Stanley Cup contender. The Bruins have advanced past the second round of the playoffs just once since 2013. Boston was eliminated in Game 7 of the first round by the Carolina Hurricanes last season because it couldn't win a…

On Thursday night, A.J. Greer did his best to lay claim to a Bruins roster spot with a two-goal, seven-hit performance. On Saturday, it was Marc McLaughlin's turn to raise his hand. McLaughlin, the Billerica native and former Boston College captain, scored two goals to lead the B's to a 4-0 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers at the Garden in the…

David Pastrnak and the Boston Bruins are totally fine talking contract during the 2022-23 season. More on that, Boston Bruins and NHL news, as well as NHL trade rumors in the latest Boston Hockey Now Bruins Daily: Boston Bruins Did A.J. Greer just become a fan favorite for Boston Bruins fans with the game-winner and a two-goal performance in a 3-2…

The Boston Bruins (27-16-4, 58 pts) will complete their two-game swing through the New York metro area Thursday when they take on the struggling New York Islanders (17-20-6, 40 pts) in their first game at UBS Arena. (7:30 PM ET, NESN, MSG+). The Boston Bruins have played much better two-way hockey since being embarrassed at home by the Carolina…

The Bruins added another veteran body to their depleted defense corps, officially announcing that 36-year-old blueliner Anton Stralman has signed a professional tryout agreement. Stralman was in attendance at Warrior Ice Arena on Saturday morning, partaking in practice and a scrimmage with the players who are not playing in the Saturday night's…

BRIGHTON, MA - With Boston Bruins training camp now underway, it's the time for storylines and narratives to begin to take hold, impressions made with the new B's coaching staff and at the end of it all a roster that will be ready to start the regular season less than a month from now. So with that in mind, here's five burning questions facing the…

A year ago, if we were going to give name to the three stars of the NHL trade deadline, Jarmo Kekalainen would have been named one of them. It's not nearly as much fun selling as it is the other way around, but the Blue Jackets GM's haul for pending UFAs David Savard and Nick Foligno was podium-worthy. I was not convinced either pending UFA would…

This story appears in the Feb. 12, 2017, issue of SPORTS ILLUSTRATED. To subscribe, The most spectacular show in Las Vegas features many apparent mysteries but only one obvious illusion.

The Boston Bruins (25-14-3, 53 pts) welcome the Seattle Kraken (14-26-4, 32 pts) to TD Garden for the first-ever meeting between the B's and the NHL's newest expansion club (7:05 PM ET, NESN, ROOT-NW). The Bruins will look to bounce back from a humiliating 6-1 loss to the Stars in Dallas on Sunday and head into their week break on a positive…

Now that the Minnesota Wild and Kirill Kaprizov have agreed to a 5-year $45 million deal, the Wild can focus on the real work. Namely, keeping Kaprizov in St. Paul for five years. No one will blame you if you breathed a sigh of relief when Kaprizov arrived in time for training camp. He's crucial to Minnesota's success, and it shouldn't have taken a…

Despite being favored, shaky goaltending will ultimately be the Washington Capitals' undoing on Monday night against the Boston Bruins. We like Brad Marchand to keep peppering opposing netminders with shots en route to a win in our NHL betting picks. The Washington Capitals will try to bounce back from a "wild" loss as they welcome the Boston…
