Boston Bruins 50-Goal Scorers
April 14, 2024 by Brandon Share-Cohen
Throughout the 96-year history of the Boston Bruins franchise, there have been 11 different instances of a player reaching the 50-goal mark. Those 11 instances of 50-plus goals are made up of five different players who will forever live in Bruins’ history as legends. Interestingly enough, the 11 different 50-plus goals seasons all came within a span of 24 years between 1970 and 1994 without any player in Bruins’ history reaching the 50-goal mark prior to the 1970-71 season or since the 1993-94 season.
Bruins’ Home Ice Advantage Sets Playoff Course
April 14, 2024 by Brandon Share-Cohen
The Boston Bruins took care of some business Saturday night by beating the Pittsburgh Penguins on the same night the Detroit Red Wings bested the Toronto Maple Leafs. These two outcomes secured home ice for the Bruins in the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs as the team can no longer finish any lower than second place in the Atlantic Division. While there will still be a fight to close out the season between the Bruins and the Florida Panthers to determine the winner of the Atlantic Division, the Bruins currently hold a one-point lead and have two games remaining on their schedule to the Panthers one. The Bruins sit just three points out of first place in the NHL and could earn four points in their final two games; the New York Rangers (112) and Dallas Stars (111) ahead of them have both played 81 games apiece.
