What we learned: Bruins bounce back; earn two big points

Two nights after the Bruins blew a two-goal third period lead to the Maple Leafs, the Bruins found themselves down two goals in the second period against a lowly Buffalo Sabres squad. Skating against a Sabres team that played 24 hours prior, the Bruins settled things down to allow themselves to get back in the game.

Goals by Brad Marchand and Ryan Spooner knotted things at two before the Bruins secured the 3-2 victory in the shootout.

With points so important in a tight Eastern Conference playoff race, the Bruins really needed two points Thursday night. The Bruins will have the chance to sweep the home-and-home series Saturday night when the Sabres stroll into TD Garden.
