The Boston Bruins have a 22-18-4 record over 46 games for 49 points and a 53.3% winning percentage. The Ottawa Senators (and ugh... Montréal Canadiens) have a 22-18-4 record over 44 games for 48 points and a 54.5% winning percentage.

Koepke's replacement will be determined shortly. Bruins head coach Joe Sacco said forward Mark Kastelic would be back in the lineup if he is given the green light to play by the medical team. If not, Oliver Wahlstrom will replace Koepke in the lineup.

THROUGH GAMES OF SATURDAY, JAN. 18, 2025

The Boston Bruins are in a sticky situation heading into the second half of the season. They are in the playoff mix, but the gap is narrow. So, what should the Bruins do at the trade deadline?

Under duress from Charlie Coyle, Victor Hedman lost the puck just inside his left point position and Poitras pounced on it, bursting up ice on a 2-on-1. He smartly waited out Nick Perbix’s belly-flop slide and made a pretty pass around the defenseman’s skates to Trent Frederic for a redirection at 4:24, Frederic’s seventh of the year.

For one night anyone, it felt like old times on Causeway. With bad blood spilling all over TD Garden between two teams that played a week ago, the Boston Bruins sprinted to a 4-0 second period lead and hung on for a 6-2 victory against the Tampa Bay Lightning.

After finding his game in Providence, center Matt Poitras was recalled by Boston on Tuesday and, though Charlie Coyle (illness) was a game-time decision, the 20-year-old Poitras was set to be in the lineup against the Lightning regardless of Coyle’s status.

For this contest against the Lightning, the Bruins are going to have a far different-looking lineup. At morning skate, recent call

The Bruins need their best players to lead any turnaround, and Saturday’s overtime win vs. the Panthers was a good start.

The Boston Bruins secured a 4-3 overtime victory against the Florida Panthers on Saturday to snap their six-game losing streak.

And shortly after Peeke was freed, the B’s regained the lead. It started with Frederic winning the puck on forecheck and dishing to Geekie. Coming out of the left corner, Geekie sent a perfect pass to Pastrnak for his 18th of the year, a tap-in at 16:11.

The Bruins won for the first time in seven games Saturday, pinning a 4-3 overtime loss on the Stanley Cup champion Panthers at Amerant Bank Arena.
