Beginning tonight against the defending Stanley Cup champion Blackhawks, the Bruins embark on their most difficult slate of the season. Thirteen of the B’s remaining 18 games are against teams who are currently in playoff positioning, and another three against teams who are battling for a wild card spot in the Eastern Conference — the Devils and Hurricanes (twice).
If Tuesday’s 2-1 win against the lowly Calgary Flames was any indication, this stretch run is going to have a lot of twists and turns. So buckle up Bruins fans, because the road to the playoffs is going to get bumpy.
