So I was looking at the schedules trying to figure out when Boston makes up their current 4 games in hand on us, which will be 5 by the end of February.
Boston plays 16 games in March and 5 in April. We only play 13 and 3. They only have 3 times where they have 2+ days off till the end of the season. They play tonight and then don't play until the 17th, they have a 3-day gap between the 20th and 24th, and then a 2 day gap from March 3rd - 6th. After that they have at most one day off between games with 2 back-to-backs left (March 10th, 11th and last games of the season April 7th, 8th), they also have 2 other back-to-backs before that Feb. 19th-20 and 24th-25th. They also more road games then home games left (16-12), where as we are more even with 13 home games and 11 road games left.
It'll be interesting to see if Boston burns out with that schedule.
