Entering Wednesday’s contest with the Bruins, the Calgary Flames found themselves winners of 10 straight. The Bruins, winners in 11 of 14 since Bruce Cassidy took over, looked to be the lucky team to end the Flames’ streak.
The win wasn’t pretty by any means, but two points are two points and the Bruins will take them by any means necessary.
Snapping Calgary’s streak with a 5-2 victory, the Bruins pull themselves within three points of the second place Ottawa Senators and four points back of the Montreal Canadiens in the Atlantic Division. The Canadiens and Senators meet three times in a seven-day span that includes a home-and-home set this weekend.
