Bruins to honor bombing victims before Sabres game!

BOSTON � There might not be a dry eye in the house by the time the puck drops at TD Garden on Wednesday night.

Pregame tributes are certain to feature a moment of silence and other memorials to the victims of the bombing at the Boston Marathon on Monday. The Boston Bruins' helmets will be adorned with a decal of a blue-and-yellow ribbon with the words "Boston Strong."

This is the time of year when teams typically don't have a problem focusing on the on-ice goal at hand. The Bruins and Sabres have a handful of regular-season games remaining.
