BOSTON - The Boston Bruins have played a playoff hockey game every 48 hours since April 11. Nine postseason contests and 18 days later, the schedule finally allows the Black & Gold to catch their breath ahead of Game 3 of the second round series against the Columbus Blue Jackets.
"It's awesome," said defenseman Torey Krug on the additional day break. "We've been going every other day now for a while now, it gives us a second to catch our breath, regroup and focus on some things we want to do better in the series moving forward. I'm sure the guys are really appreciating the time off."
