The Boston�Bruins have dealt with their fair share of adversity this season.�

Lots of injuries and a tough battle with�COVID which saw them play a gruelling and condensed schedule.�

However when all was said and done, the B's got going at the right time and look ready for the playoffs.�

While their defense might not be as strong as last year, they're still in a prime position to make a serious run at the Stanley Cup now that they've finally got the top six depth they've been looking for.�

�

"I really like the additions they made at the deadline. Mike Reilly was playing really good hockey for the Senators. He became a steady defender and bolsters the depth of their D. Taylor Hall now gives them a legitimate second line, so shutting down and matching up with the Bergeron line is not as easy as it used to be. And you have a third line that can cause some problems. They're battle-tested. Have a great leader in Bergeron. Their PK is the best in the league. They've balanced out their team as good as anybody."

The Bruins ended the season on a 6-3-1 run and they'll be going up against the Washington Capitals who finished on a equally impressive 7-2-1 run.
