Last season the Boston Bruins were undefeated in three games against the New York Islanders. They outscored the Isles 13-4. Clearly, the Boston Bruins were very comfortable versus the Isles.
This season the the Bruins are still a good team with a 13-7-4 record. But the Isles are catching the B’s at a great time with a slew of top tier players out with injury.
Patrice Bergeron, Zdeno Chara, and Charlie McAvoy are all on the Bruins LTIR. The time was now to get a result.
