Amid the Bruins’ 16-game point streak, coach Bruce Cassidy isn’t concerned about the team “peaking too early.’’
“We want to go out and win every game, right?’’ Cassidy said at Warrior Ice Arena after practice Monday morning. “So you win every game or get points every game, and then what? Like, you’re not supposed to do that because it’s a certain time of year?’’
With 17 games remaining on the schedule, the Bruins have positioned themselves to enter the playoffs as a fierce contender in the Eastern Conference. Boston has won 12 of its last 14 games, including an emphatic 4-1 victory over the league-leading Tampa Bay Lightning last Thursday.
