Bruins' first-round schedule for playoff series against Maple Leafs announced

The NHL regular season is in the books, and it's time for the Stanley Cup Playoffs to jump back into the fray in Boston.

The Bruins may have ended the regular season with a loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning, but they had turned their attention to the Toronto Maple Leafs long before the puck dropped Saturday, with just a few days to go until the postseason gets underway.
