The Boston Bruins have a big game tonight against the New Jersey Devils as they get closer to the playoffs.�

A win tonight for the B's will clinch themselves a playoff spot, as a matter of fact the B's only need one point out of tonight's matchup to punch their ticket to the Stanley Cup Playoffs.�

After a bit of a rough stretch things have really been coming together for the B's and for the first time in a long time look like they have a solid second line.�

The playoffs aren't enough though as the B's are also looking to get closer to first place in the Mass Mutual Division.�

"We want to clinch first. Hopefully, we take care of business [on Tuesday] and then we'll start worrying about [other things]. You always want to finish as high in the standings as you can," said Boston Bruins head coach Bruce Cassidy. "But I think this year more than any other year it's not going to matter as much. You've got four really good teams [in the East Division] that have been jockeying all year.

Every win brings them closer to the opportunity at having home ice advantage so expect a full effort from the B's down the stretch.�
