6 Bruins under the microscope for stretch run, Stanley Cup playoffs
The NHL trade deadline is in the rearview mirror and, unless you believe that Kevan Miller is going to get healthy in time to help the Bruins this season, there are no reinforcements on the way.
What you see on the Bruins roster is what you get.

With the stretch run here and the Stanley Cup playoffs right around the corner, here’s a look at six Bruins players that will be under the microscope the rest of the season.
