After struggling through a 1-3-1 homestand before the Christmas Break, the Boston Bruins were facing an important road trip following the break. A five-game trip through Western Canada that was bookended with stops against the Buffalo Sabres and Seattle Kraken was going to be a big 10 days.
After beginning with two losses, one in regulation to the Sabres and one in overtime to the Calgary Flames, the Black and Gold picked up a pair of wins over the Edmonton Oilers and Vancouver Canucks in overtime on Saturday night. They had two days off before closing the trip on Tuesday night in Seattle against the Kraken.
