After a very light month of February with the Olympic Break, the NHL season will resume in March with what is going to be a very busy month for all teams, as the stretch run for playoff spots will make each night must-watch. Then there is also the trade deadline at the beginning of the month. Buckle up!

For the Boston Bruins, there is no telling where they will be in the standings and whether or not they will be sellers, buyers, or standing pat at the deadline. We will know what happened this past March at the deadline, a fire sale that led to a lot of turnover. March isn't going to be easy, and let's break down the next-to-last month of the regular season for the Black and Gold.
