The Boston Bruins Open Their Season Thursday

Following what was the speed dating equivalent of training camp, the 2021 Boston Bruins are ready to take the ice for their season opener this Thursday vs. New Jersey at 7:00.

The team will certainly have a different look, with the absence of Chara and Krug, and the addition of Craig Smith.

We will find out who made the roster cut later today. NHL teams have until 5:00 ET to submit their rosters to the league.
