Tonight, the Boston Bruins will look to make it two in a row when they host the Chicago Blackhawks at TD Garden in Massachusetts.

In their most recent outing, Boston picked up a convincing 7-2 win over the New Jersey Devils, returning them to the win column after a 6-3 loss to the Buffalo Sabres on Sunday.

While Boston's won two of their last three, thanks to the team's astounding 10-game skid from mid March to early April, the team still finds themselves at the bottom of the Atlantic Division.

This will be the first time that Boston has missed the playoffs since the 2016 season, and just the third time they've missed the postseason since 2007.
