omThe Boston Bruins’ goal-differential is +90 and it probably won’t be long until it crosses the +100 level. That’s how exceptionally well the Bruins have played this season.

That’s why the Bruins are leaving no avenue unexplored when it comes to trades.

The Bruins understand they have a true opportunity to make a Stanley Cup run. The latest reports have the Bruins looking at possible deals to acquire Jeff Chychrun or Vladislav Gavrikov.

Jimmy Murphy brings perspective to Elliotte Friedman reports about the Bruins’ efforts to land a defenseman to play in their top four. It seems as if landing Gavrikov is more do-able, based on salary cap and the assets that would have to be moved.

The Florida Panthers are inconsistent to say the least. Tristan Jarry is still no back in the Pittsburgh Penguins’ lineup. Alex Ovechkin is still away from the Capitals because of the death of his father.
