At press time (Tuesday), the Bruins were riding a six-game win-streak, presently the longest win streak in the National Hockey League. Highlights of the Boston win streak: they have outscored their opponents 27-7, and have not surrendered a single third period goal, while upping their record to 28-19-2. The Dallas Stars hosted Boston on Tuesday night at 7:30pm, in a game the Bruins were attempting to extend their win streak to seven games. Regardless of the outcome of the Dallas game, the Bruins return to TD Garden ice tonight (Thursday) to begin a five-game stretch, with four of those next five games on home ice. Tonight they will take on the Vegas Golden Knights (7:00pm). Vegas saw their seven-game win streak come to an end on Monday night with their 2-1 loss at the hands of the Philadelphia Flyers. Saturday (7:00 pm) their Atlantic Division rivals, the Montreal Canadiens will invade TD Garden looking to widen their slim lead over the Bruins in the standings. Next up, a single game road trip on Monday, to face the New York Rangers, who continue to struggle, while trying to find their way out of the last spot in the Metropolitan Division. The Bruins return to home cooking on Tuesday 7:00pm to host the Nashville Predators, followed by a visit from the Philadelphia Flyers on Thursday night (7:00pm).
WOMEN’S BEANPOT HALL OF FAME
INDUCTEE
Tuesday night at TD Garden, the Beanpot Committee welcomed their 2026 Women’s Beanpot Hall of Fame Inductee, Boston College goaltender Katie Burt. The induction took place during the first intermission of the Women’s Beanpot Championship game. A standout goaltender for Boston College, Burt helped lead the Eagles to three Beanpot titles (2016, 2017, 2018) and earned the Bertagna Award as the tournament’s top goaltender. Her 35-save performance in the 2018 overtime championship win over Boston University remains a highlight of the collegiate career. Burt finished her NCAA career as the all-time leader in wins (121) and ranked among national leaders in winning percentage (.863), shutouts (35), goals-against-average (1.47), saves (3,180), and save percentage (.937). She also set Boston College program records in wins, shutouts, goals-against percentage, and save percentage. Burt’s honor was well deserved.
