On Monday, NBC Sports Group released its nationally televised schedule for the 2015-16 NHL season. Of the 105 regular season games featured on NBC and NBCSN, the Boston Bruins will appear 12 times in front of a nationwide audience.
Four of the Bruins’ 12 appearances on NBC and NBCSN will feature matchups against the hated Montreal Canadiens and another Original Six rival, the New York Rangers. Two of those matchups against the Habs and Blueshirts will be highlighted on NBC during the Winter Classic on New Year’s Day (Montreal) and the “Black Friday” matinee the day after Thanksgiving (New York).
