Boston Bruins Rivalries

Here are three of their most prominent rivalries:
Boston Bruins vs. Montreal Canadiens
This is the Bruins’ oldest and most intense rivalry, rooted in nearly a century of fierce competition. The two teams, both part of the NHL’s Original Six, have clashed in numerous high-stakes playoff battles.
