As a fan, it’s hard to say what kind of season the Boston Bruins are having. Sure, the Bruins are still in second place in the Atlantic Division. But there are teams that are very close behind them.
The playoff race is exceptionally tight right now. The Ottawa Senators are just three points behind them with five games in hand over the Black and Gold. The Bruins could have given themselves a little more cushion against the struggling New York Islanders, but found themselves shutout at home, losing to the one of the worst teams in the league 4-0.
