Bruins Intrasquad Scrimmage at TD Garden Sold Out

The Boston Bruins intrasquad scrimmage being held Thursday night at TD Garden is sold out.

Boston is holding the scrimmage in preparation for the start of the Stanley Cup Final against the St. Louis Blues, which is set to begin on Memorial Day.

The Bruins have been off for seven days, so far, after sweeping the Carolina Hurricanes in the Eastern Conference Finals.

“We've got some ideas we bandied around. We came up with this one. We've had good practices, but this will be a little bit different,” said Bruins head coach Bruce Cassidy during his press conference on Tuesday.

Ticket prices were set at $20, with all proceeds from the scrimmage benefiting the Boston Bruins Foundation.

Puck drop is set for 7 p.m.

The Scrimmage

Boston will split into two teams and play two 25-minute periods, with two referees.

According to Cassidy, he might create some four-on-four situations, as well as, some six-on-five situations.

"This isn't a physicality contest out there. It's compete on pucks. It's play with some pace. I think we're smart enough. That will be the message I relay to some of the younger guys: We're doing this for a reason. But the reason is not to injure anybody," said Cassidy.

Bruins vs Blues

Boston and St. Louis met two times during the regular season.

The Bruins beat St. Louis 5-2 on January 17 in Boston, while the Blues beat the Bruins 2-1 in a shootout on February 23 in St. Louis.
