COMMENTARY
If the 2024-25 NHL regular season ended today, the Boston Bruins would be in the playoffs.
As of Sunday evening, Boston currently sits in first Wild Card spot in the Eastern Conference — with Saturday’s 3-1 win over the Avalanche pushing the Bruins to 5-1-1 in their last seven games.

Even with their current playoff position, MoneyPuck has Boston tabbed with just a 38.9 percent chance of playing postseason hockey on Causeway Street this April.
