Thirteen games remain for the Boston Bruins in 2016-17. Thanks to the Maple Leafs losing in Florida last night, their chances of advancing to the postseason for the first time since 2014 are at a season-high 83.3 percent according to Sports Club Stats.
Whether it’s bouncing back from losses or overcoming in-game adversity, the Bruins have been a resilient bunch since Bruce Cassidy took over on an interim basis over one month ago. They have not lost two in a row since the coaching change and are playing inspiring hockey.
As strong as they’ve been after Cassidy took over for now Canadiens head coach Claude Julien in early-February, the battle-tested Bruins are about to face their most difficult stretch of the campaign.
