The Boston Bruins are entering a crucial stretch in their schedule before American Thanksgiving. They host the Carolina Hurricanes on Monday night at the TD Garden for the second time this month before heading out west for three games in California and a stop on Long Island the night before Thanksgiving.
After having their seven-game winning streak snapped by the Ottawa Senators on Thursday night, they picked up a gutsy road win over the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday night, 3-2, in a game where they lost defenseman Charlie McAvoy and forward Viktor Arvidsson to injuries.
It wasn't easy against the Canadiens, but a huge stat from the game was the Habs going 0-for-7 on the power play, including a pair of two-man advantages, one for 1:28 and another for 1:51.
