Those results put the fourth- place Bruins just three points behind the third-place Eagles. They face the Eagles again at the arena on Friday at 7:45 p.m., their last home game of the regular season, and then face the winless Merchants in Little Britain on Saturday. Two wins will put the Bruins in third place.
