BOSTON It might be time to start getting a little worried about the Habs problem. The Boston Bruins have given little reason for concern over the last couple of seasons while banking points and dominating their own division, and they entered Thursday night with a 10-point lead over the Canadiens in the Atlantic Division standings as theyd begun pulling away from the competition. The Bruins had clowned...

BOSTON -- It hasnt been a huge issue all season-long, but the struggles of Gregory Campbell to fully recover from last years broken leg were pretty obvious out of the starting gate this season. It took Campbell 17 games to get his first point, and 21 games to notch his first goal of the season. Campbell always seemed to be chasing the play, and certainly wasnt playing with the suffocating pressure...
BOSTON Earlier in the day, Bruins coach Claude Julien all but guaranteed Chris Kelly would be back in the lineup when the Bs dropped the puck with the Florida Panthers tonight at TD Garden. So it was no surprise when the third-line center was activated off the injured reserve on Tuesday afternoon, and both Zach Trotman and Ryan Spooner were sent back down to the Providence Bruins in corresponding moves....

BOSTON The Bruins liked what they saw out of the third line combination of Daniel Paille, Carl Soderberg and Loui Eriksson over the last couple of games, and have decided to stick with it despite the return of Chris Kelly to the Bs lineup. Kelly was riding on the left wing with Gregory Campbell and Shawn Thornton on the Bs fourth line, and Soderberg and Eriksson stay with Paille after both Swedish...

BOSTON Here are five thoughts from the first period with the Bruins leading the Florida Panthers by a 2-0 score after the first 20 minutes of Tim Thomas vs. Tuukka Rask at TD Garden. 1) Brian Campbell has zeroes across the board in 9:16 of ice time for Florida except for the fact that hes been on ice for both of the goals against Florida. Thanks for coming, Florida Soupy! 2) Milan Lucic carving out...
BOSTON -- The Boston Bruins spoiled Tim Thomas' homecoming Tuesday night.

The red-hot Bruins took a 4-0 lead and cruised to their fourth straight victory, a 6-2 decision over Thomas and the Florida Panthers. Thomas lost to...
BOSTON The beat goes on for a Bruins team that is absolutely rolling as they inch closer to the Olympic break.
