Karma was on the Bruins side when they swept the season series from the Penguins in Wednesday’s 5-1 win at TD Garden. They are hoping that a little father time will help them make it two in a row against another team battling for playoff positioning in the Eastern Conference.
The Bruins, who entered Wednesday’s game just two points ahead of the Penguins for the first wild card spot, are back in the top three of the Atlantic Division. Their opponent tonight, the Carolina Hurricanes, are two points behind the Pens for the final wild card spot in the East.
