COMMENTARY
The Bruins haven’t exactly had much smooth sailing during the 2025-26 season.
Rather, their progression from October through mid-January has been about as even and smooth as a potholed-riddled stretch of 93 South in the cold of winter.
Be it their compressed scheduled or reworked roster, Boston’s campaign has been rife with peaks and valleys — making it tough to gauge just what type of ceiling (and frankly, floor) this team boasts.
After winning their first three games of the new season, Boston dropped six losses in a row.
That was followed up by an 8-1 run, only to then mire in a 3-5 stretch as injuries sapped away talent from the roster.
