The Boston Bruins have had the New York Islanders number for years now. Since 2015-16, the Islanders are 3-10-2 against the Bruins. That’s eight points from a possible 30 or a 0.267 points percentage for the math crew out there.
That’s – as I’m sure you know – not good. This year, thanks to the border being closed between Canada and the United States, the Bruins and Islanders find themselves in the same division. That means the Isles will play these same Bruins eight times this year.
