The Bruins rolled into the Canadian Tire Centre on Thursday night with a certain air of confidence. Even after losing top scorer Brad Marchand for five games. This team has been irresistible of late. You can’t even call it recent form anymore, It’s a month and a half since the B’s last lost in regulation.
Tonight the Boston Bruins tied the record for second longest point streak in franchise history. It’s 18 consecutive games from which the Bruins have plucked at least a point. Sporting a 14-0-4 during this span.
They’ve won five on the trot now, and as such fans around the league are awakening to Boston’s contender status.
