After splitting a five-game road trip at 2-2-1 that ended with a dismal 7-4 loss to the Seattle Kraken, the Boston Bruins are back in Boston and have a quick turnaround in beginning a five-game homestand on Thursday night.
The Bruins have 11 games remaining this month, eight at the friendly confines of the TD Garden beginning on Thursday night against former teammate Johnny Beecher and the Calgary Flames. The Black and Gold will be looking for some revenge for a 2-1 overtime loss 10 days ago as part of their recent trip.
Boston is three points out of the final Eastern Conference wild card spot, and they need a big homestand if they are going to stay within striking distance.
