It’s the regular season home finale, folks!

Believe it or not, this is not the most significant Bruins-Devils game of the past couple of weeks.

When searching for an image for a “Bruins Devils” image for this post, I got a bunch of results for the Duke Blue Devils vs. the UCLA Bruins in Elite Eight of the women’s NCAA Basketball Tournament, which was slightly more consequential than this game.

Still, there is something riding on this game, as a win guarantees the Bruins a date with Buffalo in the first round, while a loss leaves open the possibility of facing Carolina instead.

No knock on Buffalo, but I’d rather see them than Carolina, mostly because I’m sick of Carolina after the last few years.

Anyways, that’s getting ahead of things, as there’s still a game to play tonight.

Along with the game, we’ll get the results of the NESN 7th Player Award and the rest of the end-of-regular-season festivities tonight.

Bruins! Devils! IN THE COMMONWEALTH!
