On the one week anniversary of the firing of Claude Julien and subsequent promotion of Bruce Cassidy as interim coach, the Bruins find themselves in third place in the Atlantic Division entering Day 2 of their bye week.
At this time last week, it was hard to imagine the Black and Gold being in that third spot. But here we are after the Cassidy era began with three straight wins – two coming in impressive fashion against the Sharks and Canadiens. Entering tonight, the Bruins have a 54.6 percent chance of making the playoffs according to Sports Club Stats.
