The Bruins took two of their three matchups with the Blue Jackets during the regular season, but Columbus is not your typical 8-seed. They are coming off an incredible first-round sweep of the Tampa Bay Lightning, who tied the NHL's regular-season win record with 62 wins during the regular season. This is Columbus' first appearance in the second round in franchise history.
