Everyone will point to different things when it comes to the Boston Bruins' recent five-game winning streak. You could argue that the schedule has been a bit soft, as they've had four games against teams well out of a playoff spot. Others will also say that Mason Lohrei is a bust and his absence is the reason the Bruins are doing so well.

While the Lohrei conversation is part of it due to its impact on the defense as a whole, it's time to start giving Marco Sturm credit for the system he is building and the players' ability to buy into it.
