The Boston Bruins have hung around the top of the Eastern Conference for nearly the entire 2023-24 campaign, but Jim Montgomery's club has struggled in recent weeks. A team that was 32-10-9 after a convincing win over the Vancouver Canucks on February 8 is now 42-17-15 with just eight games left in the regular-season. It was almost exactly a year ago that the 2022-23 Bruins were capturing the President's Trophy, while re-writing history and producing one of the greatest years of all time. In March of 2024 — with Patrice Bergeron and David Krejci no longer around to be leaned on down the stretch — Montgomery is concerned about the postseason.
