Tomorrow night, the Boston Bruins and Florida Panthers are set to kick off their season openers in Florida. However, there are concerns within the league that the game may be canceled and postponed. According to Jimmy Murphy, there is a possibility that the Bruins might have to head back home. Despite these uncertainties, the Bruins have already arrived in Florida and are ready to play, regardless of the circumstances.
Per an NHL source, a decision on whether or not the Florida Panthers will play their season opener against the #NHLBruins tomorrow night or postpone due to Hurricane Milton should be announced today.
Note: Bruins flew down yesterday and are scheduled to practice there today.

In recent weeks, hurricanes have severely impacted the southeastern United States, with Hurricane Helene hitting first, followed by the looming threat of Hurricane Milton. Despite the potential for significant damage, Boston Globe reporter Jim McBride advises fans not to worry just yet. Sources within the NHL indicate that the league fully plans to go ahead with tomorrow’s game. However, they are closely monitoring the situation and will make adjustments if necessary. For now, it appears they are set on proceeding with the game as scheduled.
The #Bruins game vs. the Panthers tomorrow remains on schedule, per NHL spokesman. The league will “monitor the weather reports and follow the lead of local authorities.” #HurricaneMilton
