The Bruins battled the Montreal Canadiens for leadership in the Northeast Division all season , before a loss to the Ottawa Senators in a make-up game following the Boston Marathon bombing on April 28 gave the Canadiens the division title . Boston settled for fourth place in the Eastern Conference standings with 62 points . On April 2 , the Bruins acquired former All-Star Jaromir Jagr from the Dallas Stars , after failing to acquire Jarome Iginla from the Calgary Flames . Jagr would end up being a winger for the Patrice Bergeron – Brad Marchand forward line , as usual winger Tyler Seguin was transferred to the third line with Chris Kelly and Rich Peverley , to give a more even scoring threat across all four forward lines for the Bruins
