Entering Saturday afternoon's rematch with the Colorado Avalanche, the Boston Bruins were looking to snap a six-game losing streak. One week earlier, the Black and Gold dropped a 4-1 decision in Denver.
Colorado entered the game as one of two teams in the league that had yet to suffer a regulation loss. Boston entered one of the losing streaks where it seemed like they were inventing new ways each game to lose. It was getting to the point where you couldn't make up the way they were heartbreakingly dropping games.
Snapping a losing streak against one of the top teams wasn't going to be easy.
