Bruins free live streams: How to watch 2023-24 Boston NHL hockey games without cable
The Bruins had a historic 2022-23 season, setting NHL records for the most points and wins by a team in the regular season.
That success did not translate over to the postseason, as Boston was stunned by Florida in the first round of the playoffs, blowing a 3-1 series lead to the Panthers to end their campaign unceremoniously.
The Bruins enter the 2023-24 season without longtime center Patrice Bergeron, who had been a team leader on and off the ice for nearly two decades. Boston is expected to regress, especially coming off a dominant season last year, but should be in the running to make the postseason with a strong core group that includes Brad Marchand, David Pastrnak and Charlie McAvoy.

How to watch Bruins games without cable
There are a number of ways to catch Bruins games throughout the 2023 seasons (NHL’s blackout rules apply):
— If you’re in the Boston market, Fubo carries NESN, the Bruins’ official regional sports network. Viewers inside of the Boston market can find Bruins matchups all throughout the 2023-24 season. You’ll also have access to games on ESPN and NHL Network. However, if you live outside of the Boston area, Fubo will not carry the games on NESN.
— For those living in the Boston area, DirectTV Stream also offers NESN, as well as all the networks that air nationally televised games: ESPN, TNT and NHL Network.
— YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, and Sling TV will stream nationally televised games on ESPN and TNT, giving cord-cutters another streaming option. However, none of these services carry NHL Network or NESN.
