The Boston Bruins entered Saturday’s matinee against the Tampa Bay Lightning with a chance to clinch a 2026 Stanley Cup Playoff berth. In many cases, clinching a postseason opportunity requires help from other teams. Unlike many teams this time of year, the Bruins’ path was simple: win, and they’re in. This is not how things…

It’s a funny thing about late-season hockey. Saturday night, when the Toronto Maple Leafs take on the Florida Panthers, you might be watching a game where the loser actually comes out ahead. Not in the standings, of course—but in the bigger picture. With the Seattle Kraken also in the mix, a loss could push one…
