The Boston Bruins refuse to back down and continue pushing toward their ultimate goal. They proved it with a hard-fought 3-2 victory over Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins, and after the win, one of their veteran leaders sent a message to lift the spirits of both his teammates and fans.
David Pastrnak made it clear where the Bruins stand following the victory, emphasizing their determination despite recent struggles. “We’re gonna fight to the end. We’re not gonna give up here,” Pastrnak said, acknowledging the team’s challenging position. “We know where we stand and how tight the standings are….”
Regardless of whether they make the playoffs, Pastrnak believes the team must stay focused and enjoy the process. “We have to embrace that and have fun with these games.” The win also marked Boston’s first victory of March.
Pastrnak has been a key contributor this season, surpassing 30 goals while adding 43 assists and 75 points. Despite missing time due to injuries, he still has a chance to play over 70 games and continue leading the Bruins’ playoff push.
Bruins’ Playoff Outlook
The Bruins currently sit in fourth place in the Wild Card standings—not an ideal spot, but still within reach of a playoff berth. However, they can’t afford to drop more games. March presents a golden opportunity, though the challenge will be playing 10 of their 14 games on the road.

To secure one of the two NHL Wild Card spots, the Bruins need Pastrnak to maintain his elite form and continue racking up points to overtake the Blue Jackets and Red Wings, who currently hold the final playoff positions.
Upcoming Games for the Bruins
Following their win over Crosby’s Penguins, the Bruins will face Minnesota next. They previously shut out the Wild 3-0 at home in February, and while this time the game is on the road, it remains a winnable matchup. They then return home for a key game against Nashville, a team they haven’t faced since a tough 4-0 loss on October 22. Their third matchup will be against a team that handed them an 8-2 defeat earlier in the season, setting the stage for a crucial redemption opportunity.
