The NHL officially suspended its season on March 12. So far, six potential Bruins games have been postponed. On Monday, Mass. governor Charlie Baker announced that all non-essential businesses should close until at least April 7. It’s unclear when and if the NHL and NBA, among many other suspended sports leagues, will resume.
