COMMENTARY
With a little more than three weeks remaining in the regular season, the Boston Bruins are still fighting for their playoff lives. Entering their three-game trip to Western Canada, the Bruins stand just two points ahead of the Maple Leafs — who hold the final wild card spot in the East — for third place in the Atlantic Division.
The good news for the Bruins? They haven’t lost two in a row under interim coach Bruce Cassidy since he took over for Claude Julien.
Fourteen games remain in the regular season for the Black and Gold with pivotal contests against the Leafs, Islanders and two more versus the Senators on the horizon.
