COMMENTARY
Things didn’t go quite as planned for the Boston Bruins during the first three months of the NHL calendar. Yet, halfway through the 2018-19 regular season, they find themselves in the heart of playoff contention.
The Bruins are still looking up at Tampa and Toronto in the Atlantic Division standings. But they are in a much better spot than they were a week or two ago as they sit in third place in the Atlantic with 54 points (25-14-4).
“Well I feel good about it, to be honest with you,” head coach Bruce Cassidy said about the state of the B’s following their 6-4 win over the Calgary Flames on Thursday.
