Penguins or Islanders? Which second round matchup suits best for Bruins
After some much-needed rest following a heavy first-round matchup with the Washington Capitals, the Boston Bruins returned to Warrior Ice Arena on Wednesday.
Bruce Cassidy’s squad could learn their second-round fate by the end of the night if the New York Islanders knock off the Pittsburgh Penguins. Or they could receive some extended rest if the Penguins force a Game 7 on Friday night.
The Bruins fared well against Sidney Crosby and the Penguins, winning five of eight matchups during their 56-game slate. They weren’t so fortunate against the Islanders, dropping the first five, but earned a trio of victories following the trade deadline.
