At this time, no decision has been made on the playoffs and whether or not they will continue as planned or with some modifications. The Bruins will officially finish 2019-20 in third place in the NAHL Central division with a record of 28-16-2-5 good enough for 63 points. If the playoffs are still a possibility, the Bruins would own the third seed in the NAHL Central Division and square off against the Bismarck Bobcats. Keep an eye on the Bruins and NAHL social media pages for updates as the league and its member clubs monitor this unprecedented situation.
