Time, television, opportunities and notes

Defender Brandon Carlo found that the team treated the last four-game segment before the break as a mini-playoff series.

The Bruins have a 2-1 record in this route in Saturday.

Playing against the former Boston coach Bruce Cassidy’s Club will be a challenge, but the Bruins know what to expect.

“They have a lot of firepower there, but they work and they play the right way,” said striker Charlie Coyle. “I think you were a good team, so we expect you to play like this and have a quick start. And we have to go together with it. “

Interims trainer Joe Sacco names a “massive chance” for Boston on Saturday.
