Bruins complete preseason schedule announced

We now know exactly when we will be getting some Boston Bruins hockey back in our lives. Today, the club announced their complete preseason schedule, kicking off on September 23 against, you guessed it, the Montreal Canadiens. The schedule features one game against the Canadiens, and two each against the Capitals, Islanders, and Red Wings. While the preseason is usually not seen as exciting by many fans, this year's preseason will be very important for the Bruins, as they will be trying to fill the lineup spot formerly filled by Shawn Thornton.
