A marathon Game 1 between the Columbus Blue Jackets and Tampa Bay Lightning has pushed Game 1 between the Boston Bruins and Carolina Hurricanes to tomorrow morning, the NHL has announced.

This will now put the Bruins into a back-to-back situation for Games 1 and 2, with Game 2 scheduled for Thursday night at 8 p.m. That is unless the Jackets and Lightning decide to have another historically long game on Thursday, too. (Hell, maybe they're still playing Game 1 by the the time that rolls around.)

With a back-to-back situation already on the table for Games 5 and 6 of this series, the Bruins and 'Canes could potentially play six games in nine days in the opening round of the 2020 Stanley Cup Playoffs.
