The Bruins still control their playoff situation, with just three games left in the regular season.

That’s the focus now for the Black & Gold, who were heading home after a 6-4 loss in Chicago on Sunday afternoon.

“Win our last three games, and we’re in the playoffs,” Torey Krug said postgame from the United Center. “We know that. We know what’s at stake. You’ve got to take them one game at a time.”

“I think last year, we got caught up looking a little bit too far ahead of ourselves, but it’s a different story this year. We’re going to take it one game at a time, learn from everything that’s happened so far.”

The Bruins will next host the Carolina Hurricanes, Detroit Red Wings and Ottawa Senators at TD Garden on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. If they win all three, no matter what Detroit does in its other two games, they’re through to the postseason.

The Red Wings sit one point above them in the standings (91 to the Bruins’ 90). They host the Philadelphia Flyers on Wednesday night in an 8:00 p.m. matchup, before playing in Boston the next night, and then finishing the season in New York against the Rangers on Saturday.

For the Black & Gold, it still comes down to taking care of their own business.
