Given the storm that barreled through the Northeast, the Bruins caught a bit of a schedule break following the Olympics.
The Boston Bruins, like the rest of the NHL, have begun practices for the post-Olympic break, which is going to be a grind with a heated postseason race coming up. Boston begins the final stretch four points up on the Washington Capitals and Columbus Blue Jackets. Washington is supposed to play the Philadelphia Flyers on Wednesday night, while the Bruins will be the Blue Jackets' first opponent out of the break at the TD Garden on Thursday night.
