With snow starting to come down heavily outside TD Garden on Friday afternoon, the Bruins and the NHL announced that the start time for Saturday’s game against the Tampa Bay Lightning had been pushed from 1 to 7 p.m.

Speculation had been rampant in the Bruins’ locker room that there might be a time change, but none of the players seemed overly concerned. Many of them, after all, are from Canada. Or Finland.
