Boston Bruins

Following a heartbreaking conference semifinals exit in the 2020 NHL Playoffs, the Boston Bruins – a long-standing contender in the East – are raring to put a stamp as early as their first game in the shortened season. Boston will bank on savvy and experience in its bounce-back campaign, but the team will have to do it in a significantly modified season format. After years of being a dominant force in the region, the Bruins will now be aiming for the top of the MassMutual East Division – a formed division where the Devils are likewise competing. 

Players to watch: D. Pastrnak RW (G 70, A 48, PTS 47), B. Marchand C (G 70 A 28 PTS 59), P. Bergeron C (G 61 A 31 PTS 25).

New Jersey Devils

New Jersey has been one of the win-starved squads in the NHL in recent years, having missed the postseason seven times in the last eight years, including the recent playoffs. Breaking out of the slump is a tall order, and the task is made even tougher by the fact that they have to face the Bruins in their opener. Patience will be their ultimate weapon this year. With only 56 games to be played, the Devils, now headed by Lindy Ruff on the sidelines, are keeping their fingers crossed that the extended agony will finally yield dividends and earn them a ticket back to playoff contention.

Players to watch: K. Palmieri RW (G 65 A 25 PTS 20), N. Gusev LW (G 66 A 13 PTS 31), N. Hischier C (G 58 A 14 PTS 22).
