NESN continues its innovative Unobstructed Views series with six special Bruins-themed episodes for the 2024 NHL season. The alternate broadcast series, which builds on NESN’s success with Red Sox-themed editions, aims to offer a unique and immersive viewing experience. Bruins fans can enjoy the first telecast tonight at 7 p.m. ET during the game against the Dallas Stars on NESN 360 and NESN+, along with the standard broadcast on NESN.
Star-Studded Bruins Panel
Each Unobstructed Views episode will feature Andrew Raycroft, a former Bruins goaltender and current NESN analyst, joined by Bruins icons Patrice Bergeron and Tuukka Rask. Together, the trio will provide in-depth commentary, insider insights, and behind-the-scenes stories throughout the six-episode series, airing monthly through the NHL season, excluding April.
