The Bruins will play 56 regular-season games in the East Division
The Boston Bruins are back for the 2020-21 NHL season, which is scheduled to consist of 56 regular-season games.
Teams only will face opponents within their division during the regular season, a response to the COVID-19 pandemic and a shortened offseason after last season’s Stanley Cup playoff bubbles.
The Bruins will play in the East Division, joining the Buffalo Sabres, New Jersey Devils, New York Islanders, New York Rangers, Philadelphia Flyers, Pittsburgh Penguins and Washington Capitals.
Here’s the Bruins’ broadcast schedule for 2021, subject to change, with most games appearing on NESN.
