Bruins Wrap: Could The Bruins Win The East? Can The Habs Trade Price?

The Boston Bruins are in the hunt to finish in the top four of the Eastern Conference playoff race. Could they actually finish atop the East?

When will Bruins captain Patrice Bergeron return to the lineup?

Will the Montreal Canadiens be able to trade goalie Carey Price for salary cap relief?

That and more in the latest BHN Bruins Wrap:

Boston Bruins

The Boston Bruins had a big chance to gain ground in the Atlantic Division and the Eastern Conference Thursday and they will be going forward down the stretch.

The biggest question right now with the Bruins is, will they get captain Patrice Bergeron back soon?

Maybe Bergeron would be healthier if he started eating March Munch?

I can not be more excited to announce the launch of March Munch cereal. Cinnamon Toast Crunch has never looked so good! This is a dream come true, growing up I never could have imagined this being a possibility! Available at Shaw’s, Star Market and Market Basket. pic.twitter.com/gqL1EgB1i5
