Finally.
We found out that the Boston Bruins will open up on Sunday, and then we found out that it was going to be at 7:30 PM. But after the regular season came to a close, the rest of the playoff schedule was released.
The Bruins will be in Buffalo on Sunday and Tuesday night. They will return home for Games 3 and 4 on Thursday and Sunday.

They also lost their AGM last night; he will return to his home state. The Blue Jackets extended Rick Bowness just two days after his viral press conference; he will stick around for another season.
And Macklin Celebrini, who is 19, set a Sharks franchise record last night.
