Bruins fans have had plenty to be encouraged by over the last few weeks, and Monday saw more good news. Their recent play has propelled them to the top of TSN’s power rankings ^[3], flip-flopping them with the Red Wings a week after the B’s held the second spot.

Writes TSN’s Scott Cullen:

“7-0-1 in their last eight games, the Bruins could be really dangerous once they start reaping the expected rewards of D Tomas Kaberle‘s presence on the power play. As it is, they’re 0-for-12 with the man advantage in the last six games.”

For a feel of where the B’s Eastern Conference competitions stands, the Flyers are fifth, while the Canadiens are 10th.
