Will the Boston Bruins head back to the Stanley Cup Final for a second straight year? The simulation engine in “NHL 20” seems to think so.
Boston lost in heartbreaking fashion to the St. Louis Blues in Game 7, but is putting the past behind it as the B’s prepare for their new season beginning Thursday in Dallas against the Stars.
While no one can predict what will happen between now and June, the popular EA Sports video game simulated the 2019-20 postseason, and Bruins fans probably will like the results. The simulation has Boston beating its rival Toronto Maple Leafs (again) in seven games (again), followed by a six-game defeat of the Tampa Bay Lightning.
From there, the Black and Gold beat the Washington Capitals in six games before meeting the Vegas Golden Knights in a fight for the Stanley Cup, in which the Bruins prevailed in a six-game series.

Looks pretty good to us.
