The Boston Bruins are back in the playoffs and ended the season with 100 points.
Boston ended the regular season with a 4-0 shutout win over the New Jersey Devils at home on Tuesday. The win clinched the top Wild Card spot for the Bruins and earned them 100 points for the season, which is special for first-year head coach Marco Sturm.
“Pretty amazing, I’ve got to say,” Sturm said as seen on NESN’s postgame coverage on Tuesday. “I never really even thought, to be honest with you, getting 100 points. Because I know how hard it is to get that amount in this league. It is a hard league.
“That just says it all – the way we played, the way the guys performed every day. The ups and downs we had early on. So proud of them. Proud of my coaching staff, the whole staff to accomplish – 100 points, it’s incredible.”
Boston will go on the road to play the Buffalo Sabres in the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. The Bruins enter the playoffs on a winning streak and oozing with confidence, which goalie Jeremy Swayman believes is important.
“It’s excellent,” Swayman said. “We owed our fans, and we’re so excited for the playoffs now. To end it that way, they’ve been supporting us all year long, and it’s the best place to play in the world. That was really good to do it the right way on fan appreciation night.”
The Bruins ended the season with a record of 45-27-10.
