Bruins will find out who their opponent is for game 1 after tonight

The Bruins will have to wait until the outcome of tonight's game against the Senators to see who they will face in the first round.

Whether the Bruins win tonight will determine their chance of winning the Atlantic division.

If the Bruins finish first in the Atlantic division, they will face the the Lightning in the first round. If the Bruins lose to the Senators tonight and the Panthers win the division, the Bruins will take on the Leafs in the first round.

Regardless of the outcome of tonight's game against the Senators, the Bruins will have a tough opponent in the first round. The Lighting may occupy a wild card spot but they have a lineup full of stars.


On the other hand, facing the Leafs will not be much easier as they have had a great season and also have quite a few stars in their lineup.

One thing is for certain, fans are in for a great first round as either one of those opponents will be fun to watch against the Bruins.
