Despite their late-season woes, thanks to the New Jersey Devils beating the Detroit Red Wings and the Ottawa Senators shutting out the New York Islanders, Boston's place in the postseason is cemented. They are eliminated from earning a nod in the Atlantic Division and will be representing the Eastern Conference as a Wild Card team. The final two games of the season are massively important for the Bruins.
