The Bruins and Celtics have been sharing a building for decades and considering both teams have always been successful Boston is used to this type of scheduling.

Currently there doesn't seem to be much of a conflict, The Bruins are in Carolina for the next two games.

When push comes to shove and they end up playing the same building on the same day, they schedule one in the afternoon and one in the evening, this happened on April 18th, here is the video of the switch

This is a time-lapse video that NESN aired during the pregame show of the Boston Bruins-Montreal Canadiens game on Saturday April 18, 2009. The Boston Celtics had played basketball at the TD Banknorth Garden that afternoon, and the Bruins then played hockey there that evening. In between games, crews transformed the Garden from a basketball court to a hockey rink. This clip has the time-lapse in "real-time" as it aired, then slowed down on a video-editor for better visibility, then another look as it aired.
