First came the ugly 8-5 loss to the Vancouver Canucks. Next came a newsworthy day that included a Providence call-up (Jakob Forsbacka Karlsson), injury update (with Charlie McAvoy’s concussion) and a player leaving to attend to a personal matter (Tuukka Rask).
Then came the response.
It was a rough 48 hours for the Boston Bruins, but they found a way to overcome adversity and earned a marquee win over a Maple Leafs team — fresh off a 6-1 triumph over the Devils the night before — that was previously unbeaten away from Toronto.
