Bruins vs. Rangers: Black Friday Showdown Kicks Off at 1 PM ET

Boston, MA — The Boston Bruins will host the New York Rangers on Friday, Nov. 28, at 1:00 p.m. ET at TD Garden. This highly anticipated matchup, part of the NHL’s Black Friday tradition, marks a significant event for fans looking to enjoy some post-Thanksgiving hockey.

Both teams approach this game after contrasting performances. The Bruins finished a four-game road trip and are back home where they have won six of their last seven games. The Rangers, on the other hand, have had an impressive road record of 10-4-1 this season, despite facing challenges at home earlier in the season.

The Rangers have been effective in maintaining possession, spending over 40% of their time in the opposing zone during even-strength play, ranking in the league’s top five. However, their scoring has been below expectations, averaging just 2.50 goals per game. In contrast, the Bruins will look to capitalize on quick counters and maintain strong defense to secure a win.

Fans can tune in to watch the game live on TNT as it won’t air on NESN, marking a shift for local viewers. For those without cable, streaming options include HBO Max and DIRECTV, offering free trials for new users.

The puck is expected to drop shortly after 1:00 p.m., potentially closer to 1:15 p.m. due to broadcast schedules. Fans hoping to attend the game can find tickets through platforms like StubHub and SeatGeek.

After the game, the Bruins will face the Detroit Red Wings on Saturday, Nov. 29, as part of a home-and-home series. Upcoming match dates include Dec. 2 against the Red Wings again, followed by games against the Blues and Devils.
