Daily Bean: Bruins Season Ends, Zadorov Reveals Injury; Golden Knights Advance

Winslow Townson-Imagn Images BOSTON – It’s over. The Boston Bruins ’ 2025-26 campaign has come to a close. Getting to the playoffs was not something many people had the Bruins doing, but the playoffs came to a disappointing close.

After the game, a Bruins defenseman revealed the injury he was playing through. The Boston Bruins were not the only team in the organization to lose a playoff game last night. The Sabres were not the only team to advance to the second round, either, and elsewhere around the league, the Lightning forced a Game 7 against Montreal.

All but one matchup has been determined in the second round, and that will not be decided until tomorrow night. The Devils’ new GM has started to make front office moves, and the finalists for the Jack Adams Award were revealed yesterday – no… Marco Sturm is not on there. And the second round opens tonight at 8:00 PM (the Celtics play Game 7 at 7:30 PM).

Happy Derby Day, catch up on Bruins and league news in today’s Daily Bean: Boston Bruins BRUINS LOSE : The Bruins’ (2-4) playoff run came to an end with a Game 6 loss to the Buffalo Sabres (4-2) last night.
