No. 17: Boston Bruins

Previous: No. 11

Record: 23-21-6 (52 points)

If they fired Claude Julien now, I bet they can still get Patrick Roy to take over. But in all seriousness, Boston is going to need to find a way out of its current mini-freefall (3-5-2 in its last 10) and soon. The Bruins can’t let Toronto and Ottawa pull away in the Atlantic, and relying on Philadelphia to continue trying to lose its wild-card spot isn’t a great bet either.
