A recent surge has moved the Boston Bruins into a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. Their strong play on the road has been largely responsible. That bodes well for a team that will play its next seven games away from home, a stretch that begins Saturday against the New York Islanders in a matchup of two of the league’s weakest offenses. That the Bruins are even in danger of missing the playoffs is surprising after they finished first in the East last season with 116 points, the franchise’s best total since 1971-72. Boston, though, has been hit hard by injuries to key players and has struggled to fill the void following the offseason trade of 36-goal scorer Phil Kessel to Toronto.
A 10-game losing streak Jan. 16-Feb. 6 left the Bruins out of the top eight spots in the conference, but the team has won five of six to climb to seventh, one point ahead of Atlanta, the Rangers and Montreal. Boston swept a four-game road trip to Montreal, Buffalo, Tampa Bay and Florida going into the Olympic break and has since split a pair of home games. The Bruins now look to win five consecutive road games for the first time since midway through last season. They play their next seven on the road - all in the Eastern time zone - and don’t return to TD Garden until facing Pittsburgh on March 18.
