- Here are the highlights, in GIF format. [Boston.com]
- The Bruins showed support for the Patriots by donning "Do Your Job" toques during warmups on Saturday. Then the Bruins did their jobs. [SportsQuotient]

- The Sharks got their revenge with a win over the PBruins on Saturday night in Worcester. [Telegram&Gazette ]
Elsewhere around the rink:
