BRIGHTON —
As if last year is any reminder, the Bruins need that to change in 2016-17.
From their 0-3 start to 2015-16 to losing two of their last three on Causeway Street that led to another disappointing late regular season, the Bruins woes in front of their hometown fans were front and center. At 17-18-6, the Bruins finished with a point percentage under .500 at TD Garden for the first time in the Claude Julien era.
With the Devils, Canadiens and Wild coming to town for a three-game homestand, the emphasis of that home mark is on top of their bulletin board this week.
