Bruins takeaways: Back-to-back wins boost playoff odds in huge way
"The Bruins' chances of reaching the playoffs stood at 70 percent, per MoneyPuck's model, about a half hour before puck drop of Saturday's game against the Wild. After two straight wins, those odds are now up to 90.9 percent with Boston having eight games remaining."
"Pavel Zacha might have one of the most team-friendly contracts in the NHL. He is outperforming that contract this season with a career-high 28 goals, which ranks third-most on the team."
The Boston Bruins achieved significant victories over the weekend, defeating the Minnesota Wild 6-3 and overcoming a 3-0 deficit to win against the Columbus Blue Jackets in a shootout. These wins boosted their playoff odds from 70% to 90.9%, with eight games remaining. The Bruins are positioned for a potential playoff spot, either as a top-three team in the Atlantic Division or via the wild card. Pavel Zacha is having a standout season, nearing 30 goals and a career-high in points.
