BOSTON - Boston Bruins General Manager Don Sweeney announced today, March 26, that the team has recalled forward Oskar Steen from Providence on an emergency basis.

BOSTON - The Boston Bruins will host the fifth annual Girls Hockey Day, presented by Wasabi Technologies, on Monday, March 27 at TD Garden.

BOSTON - Jim Montgomery kept the focus away from the most significant achievement of the afternoon. Despite the Bruins clinching the Atlantic Division - the 27^th division championship in club history - Boston's bench boss did not mention the latest Black & Gold checkpoint when he addressed the team following a playoff-like, 2-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning at TD Garden on Saturday afternoon.

BOSTON - At this point of the season, with the lead they have in the standings and the relentless grind of the schedule, the Bruins easily could have stumbled into a tailspin as they hit a two-game skid earlier this month.

That kind of approach, however, just isn't in the nature of this Black & Gold club.

Boston has rebounded from that brief malaise with five consecutive victories, including a 4-2 win over the rival Montreal Canadiens on Thursday night at TD Garden behind goals from Tyler Bertuzzi, Jake DeBrusk, David Pastrnak, and David Krejci.

BOSTON - With just three weeks remaining in the regular season, the Montreal Canadiens are making their first - and only - visit to TD Garden on Thursday night. It is a far cry from the days of Jim Montgomery's youth when the Bruins and Habs were doing battle on a regular basis as fierce rivals in the old Adams Division.

"Montreal and the Bruins seemed to play each other every year in the playoffs the whole decade of the '70s," said Montgomery, whose club can clinch the Atlantic Division crown with a win over the Habs and a Toronto loss to Florida in regulation.

"I wish we played them, that team, particularly, more because it's the Black & Gold vs. the Red, White, and Blue - it's tradition of the game for me."

BOSTON - Jim Montgomery wanted to get the Bruins on the same page.

With nearly a minute of 5-on-3 power-play time on the clock and Boston trailing the Senators by a goal, the B's bench boss saw an opportunity to corral his top PP unit and try to take advantage, despite it being only midway through the first period.

BOSTON - The Bruins will be back on home ice on Tuesday night as they return from a lengthy five-game road trip to host the Ottawa Senators at TD Garden. Boston has bounced back to win three straight after a brief lull in its record-breaking season produced a stretch of three losses in four games.

BOSTON - The Boston Bruins will host Women in Sports Night, presented by Rapid7, on Tuesday, March 21, during their home game against the Ottawa Senators at 7 p.m. at TD Garden.

The night will highlight women who work and compete in the sports community, including athletes and Bruins staff. Local girl's high school hockey players and MIAA scholastic award winners will accompany Bruins players during their pregame walk-ins to TD Garden, assisted by Olympic Gold Medalist and Boston Pride defender Kali Flanagan. In-arena host Michaela Johnson will manage the game's PA mic, while Natalie Noury will take over as the in-arena host for the evening. Tuesday's Arbella Kid Captain will be Lillian Golden, a 9-year-old defender from Reading Youth Hockey.

BOSTON - The NHL announced today, March 20, that goaltender Jeremy Swayman has been named the NHL's Third Star of the Week for the week ending on March 19.

Swayman went 2-0 during the week for Boston, posting two straight shutouts as the Bruins improved their league-best record to 53-11-5. 

BUFFALO - The Bruins closed out their final long road trip of the season and returned home with a 3-2-0 record after a 7-0 drubbing of the Sabres on Sunday afternoon at KeyBank Center.

The two losses came at the beginning of the trip, as Boston fell to the Red Wings and the Blackhawks, but the Black & Gold bounced back with three consecutive victories across a four-day stretch to end the five-city journey with a winning record.

"To battle back, I think that says a lot about our team," said Charlie Coyle. "And you want to try to win every road trip…so to come back with three wins and win the road trip, 3-2, that was a big game."
