The Bruins’ 2024-25 season came to a disappointing end on Tuesday, with Boston dropping a 5-4 overtime loss to the New Jersey Devils.
A loss in regulation would have locked Boston into the fourth-worst record in the NHL this season, giving them nearly a 20-percent chance of landing a top-two pick in the upcoming 2025 NHL Draft.
But because Boston earned a point in its season finale against the Devils, the Bruins will have to keep tabs on one more NHL game later on this week before finding out where they slot on the draft order.
