The Boston Bruins clinched the Atlantic Division following Saturday’s highly entertaining victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning. They followed up that spirited win over the Bolts with a gutsy shootout win in Carolina on Sunday, getting them one step closer to clinching the Presidents’ Trophy and securing home-ice advantage throughout the postseason.
The Stanley Cup Playoffs will begin in three weeks. The Bruins are in as good of a position as ever to hoist their first Cup since 2011.
Boston will unquestionably be a heavy favorite in the first round, regardless of who they play.
