If there’s an NHL nice list, the B’s are on it as they are heading into the leaguewide Christmas break on a winning note after they were able to roll to a 6-2 win over the Nashville Predators on Monday night. Given all that has gone on this season, the Bruins have certainly earned that break.
The three-day hiatus also serves as nice benchmark on the season. Boston is right where it wants to be right now. The Bruins sit atop the Atlantic Division, and they’re trailing Pittsburgh for the conference’s top seed by just three points with two games in hand. That’s only the beginning of the reasons the Bruins can’t be happy when they put their feet up around the fire over the next few days.
