last Wednesday when they beat us 8-6 in a fight filled game in Boston. We fell to four points behind them in the race for the NE Division lead and the Bruins had a game in hand. However, they have lost their last two to Detroit while we picked up three of four points in games against the Islanders and Leafs.
We are now tied for fifth with the Capitals and one point behind the Bruins for third. The Capitals and Bruins do have a game in hand on us but we still play both teams twice more so destiny is in our own hands. At least we are eight points clear of ninth (Buffalo is ten behind but has three games in hand which makes tomorrow's game against the Sabres very important).
The last 25 games will be tight and hard fought but at least the collar is not as tight around us this year as last year at this time.
