If you caught Monday afternoon’s contest with the Calgary Flames, you surely were entertained. After their most lopsided loss of the season in Vancouver Saturday night, the Bruins bounced back Monday with an impressive 2-1 overtime victory.
Following Saturday’s letdown, the Bruins needed a better effort in their second of five straight on the road. They got just that.
The victory pulls the Bruins within one point — with two games in hand — of the Atlantic Division-leading Tampa Bay Lightning. The Bruins won’t have much time to enjoy the victory, however, as they travel to Edmonton to face Connor McDavid and the rest of the Oilers in the second game of their back-to-back in the Canadian province of Alberta.
