I bet if you asked most Boston Bruins fans in October and early November, no one would have guessed that the B’s would be contending for the top spot in the Eastern Conference. The Bruins have transformed from one of the most inconsistent teams in the NHL to one of the most dominant teams in the league.
The Bruins (47-17-11, 105 points) are coming off a shootout loss against the high-flying Winnipeg Jets. This was a game that very easily could have been a regulation loss, were it not for the Bruins will-to-win and never say die attitude.
