BLACK AND GOLD
Monday > March 24
With about three weeks left in the regular season, the Bruins face off against the Montreal Canadiens at the TD Garden tomorrow at 7:30 p.m. Can the B’s just say “Non!” again to their rivals from the north?
THE CREATIVES
Starting Friday > March 28
A quarter of a million people are employed in graphic design in the United States, and a new exhibition at the RISD Museum pays tribute to some of the standout work. Posters, magazines, book covers, branding campaigns, products, digital typography, film titles, and more created since 2000 are among the examples on display through August 3 as part of “Graphic Design: Now in Production.” Talks by curators and graphic designers accompany the show. 401-454-6500; risdmuseum.org

THE NIGHT TRAIN
Starting Friday > March 28
You really want to stay for last call, but your Charlie Card has a curfew you just can’t ignore. Starting Friday, that scenario becomes a thing of the past, when the MBTA gives late-night weekend service on subway trains and some bus lines a go in a one-year pilot program. Under the expanded hours, the last trains are expected to leave the heart of the city at around 2:30 a.m., with service ending at 3 a.m. Transportation officials hope the expanded hours on Fridays and Saturdays will boost the city’s night life and commerce. Riders will decide with their feet. Find schedules at mbta.com.
