A Look At The Potential First Round Match-Ups For The Bruins

There are three days left in the regular season for the Boston Bruins, two if you're a fan of anyone else. With Montreal playing tomorrow night, a Habs loss and a Bruins wins in either of the two games guarantees the Bruins second place in the Eastern Conference. If Montreal wins tomorrow night, Boston needs to win one of the two games and at least head to overtime to lock up the division. 

With all that said, I looked at http://www.sportsclubstats.com/ and their updated stats regarding the Bruins first round opponent. Based on all of their statisical data, here are the potential playoff opponents for the Bruins:

And after last night here's how the Eastern Conference shakes out:

While the statistics at Sports Club Stats believe that Boston will play Ottawa (and I'm sure the final game between Boston and Ottawa has a lot to do with it), if the playoffs started today the black and gold would have a rough series with New York.
