The Bruins plane was instead diverted to Miami, and it's unclear at this time how that will impact the rest of their travel plans. The Bruins are schedule to play the Florida Panthers on Saturday and this detour is not expected to impact the scheduling of that game.

The Bruins released a statement saying “the thoughts and prayers of the Bruins organization are with the victims of today’s shooting and the entire Fort Lauderdale community.”
