In the spirit of the Christmas season, the Boston Bruins could use some added holiday cheer. The team has struggled this season with injuries and inconsistencies, and is teetering in and out of playoff contention.

After a 5-3 win over the Nashville Predators on Tuesday night at TD Garden, Boston is ranked 10th in the Eastern Conference and third in the wild card. The Bruins will enjoy a much-needed, three-day holiday break before resuming play against the Blue Jackets on Saturday night in Columbus.

So raise a glass of egg nog, or your favorite holiday libation, as we offer a few Christmas wishes for the Bruins:
