BOSTON — If it’s symmetry you want, the Bruins provided plenty in their 5-0 victory over the Buffalo Sabres at the Garden on Thursday.
The B’s did not, however, find any clarity with their playoff opponent after 81 regular season games.
With the B’s victory coupled with he Tampa Bay Lightning’s loss in Columbus, the B’s are now just one point behind the Bolts. The B’s finish the season on Friday in Toronto and, if the B’s win and Tampa loses at the Islanders, the B’s will play the Maple Leafs in the first round. If they can’t catch Tampa, the B’s will play the Carolina Hurricanes. How many regulars will be in the respective lineups is anyone’s guess.
