With the top four positions in each of the divisions getting playoff berths, the Bruins are firmly situated to make the post season for the 8th time in their 10 seasons of existence.
LAST GAMES REVIEW: The Bruins split their weekend series with the Bismarck Bobcats this past weekend, winning an overtime thriller, 3-2, on Friday night before surrendering three unanswered goals to fall 3-2 on Saturday. Hugh Larkin was the hero on Friday night when he snapped home a wrist-shot on the breakaway to win the game for Austin.
