NHL UPDATE: Leap Day in Boston Bruins History

Tonight, the Boston Bruins will host the Vegas Golden Knights at TD Garden, which will mark the 11th time in franchise history they have played on a Leap Day. Interestingly, the franchise began operations in a Leap Year, 1924, playing its first NHL contest on December 1.

Since their inception, there have been 25 Leap Years, including 2024, with Boston playing most of their Leap Day games from 1940 to 1968, skating in only four since then. However, this will be the second consecutive Leap Year game after a 20-year gap from 2000 to 2020.
