Playoffs

The Bruins qualified for the playoffs for the 29th consecutive season, an NHL record that still stands (as of the 2010-11 season). The streak ended one season later. The Bruins were seeded 5th in the Eastern Conference and faced the 4th-seeded Florida Panthers in the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals. The Bruins lost the series in five games after falling behind three games to none. The Panthers went on to lose to the Colorado Avalanche in the Stanley Cup Finals.
