NEW YORK, NEW YORK - JANUARY 28: General Manager Chris Drury of the New York Rangers speaks during a press conference prior to the jersey retirement ceremony for Henrik Lundqvist taking place before the game between the New York Rangers and Minnesota Wild at Madison Square Garden on January 28, 2022 in New York City.

As Round 2 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs began across the NHL on Tuesday, the league's best team during the regular season cleaned out their lockers and headed for home.The Boston Bruins had their breakup day at TD Garden, meeting the media for the final time after exit interviews.As was the case on Sunday night, after the Bruins lost to the Florida Panthers in Game 7 of their first-round series, the focus of the room Tuesday was on captain Patrice Bergeron, 37, and his future with the club after 19 seasons.
