Breaking News:Boston Bruins just got hit with sad and terrifying report

Wins in five out of six games before Thursday’s loss to the Rangers saw the Bruins leap back up in NHL power rankings exactly a month from the start of the playoffs.

With six upcoming games on the road against teams who are in or just outside the postseason picture, the Bruins will either solidify their position or fluctuate again over the next few weeks.

To keep power ranking lists from becoming repetitive, the different outlets usually include a different side angle for each team too. Some are a little more original than others

Here’s where the Bruins landed on the lists and what the different sites said about them

The Athletic wrote about first impressions of trade deadline acquisitions with their power rankings and looked at Andrew Peeke

By far one of the oddest deadline moves was Boston’s acquisition of Peeke, a player who struggled so much that he couldn’t crack Columbus’ starting six. Columbus! It’s not like Boston was short on NHL-calibre 

Peeke has suited up for four games and while his numbers look solid in a sheltered role, it’s important to mind Boston’s quality of opponents in those games. The Bruins faced Montreal, Philadelphia, and Ottawa in Peeke’s first three games — hardly world-beaters. Peeke’s first real test against a contender came on Thursday against the Rangers and he didn’t have a particularly promising effort with just 14 percent of the expected goals. That’s not ideal.
Linus Ullmark (6.3% available): If the Bruins keep the strict rotation they’ve had for the bulk of the season, Ullmark gets the Flyers, Bolts, Predators, Panthers, Penguins and Senators to close the fantasy campaign. It’s not a great schedule, but it’s better than what Jeremy Swayma would face
