This builds off their incredible success in the regular season last year. Hopefully, however, they continue this success into the postseason, unlike last season. <div align='center' style='padding-top:20px;padding-bottom:20px;'><img src='https://i.marqueur.com/habsetlnh/i/photo/329977.webp' width='100%' border='0' alt='image' loading='lazy' defer /></div> While losing Lucic is definitely a setback for the team, the Bruins are filled with veteran players who can step up and fill the role that the big 35-year-old forward plays until he returns.
