Your Boston Bruins looked like a team that was on cruise control. Cruise control may be on display tomorrow also as the Bruins will face the Islanders in the regular season finale.The Bruins played without, Zdeno Chara, Andrew Ference, Phil Kessel, Patrice Bergeron and PJ Axellson.
Bergeron of course is out tomorrow as well as he has a swollen foot. Bergeron took a shot off the foot Thursday night and was told to take the weekend off. Bergeron's foot was still hurting on Friday so there was no need to rush Bergeron back.
So, without a lot of key components, the B's lost 6-1 today in Buffalo. They looked terrible, but with the playoffs kicking off Thursday, there is no need to push it.
*With Boston's loss today the San Jose Sharks have clinched the Presidents' Trophy (best regular-season record).
Today's goal scorers:
Buffalo:
Thomas Vanek: (39,40)
Tim Connelly: (18)
Daniel Paille: (12)
Matt Ellis: (7)
Chris Butler: (2)
Boston:
Mark Recchi (23)
Boston will wrap up their season tomorrow at 5 p.m. when they will skate against the New York Islanders on the island.

In a potential playoff preview update, Montreal is tied with the Pittsburgh Penguins in the second period. If the Habs lose in regulation than they will be the Bruins first round opponent. If they win, or lose in overtime or shoot out and gain a point we will have to wait until tomorrow.
New York plays tomorrow against the Flyers at 5 p.m. The Rangers and Canadiens both have 93 points, with New York holding the tie breaker.
