Entering last week’s three game swing through California, the Bruins remained the lone National Hockey league team without back-to-back wins. After impressive victories in Los Angeles over the Kings and San Jose over the Sharks, the Bruins changed that not so pretty stat.
Watching closely as to how they would carry the momentum gained on the west coast into New Jersey. Despite blowing a 2-0 first period lead, the Bruins did enough to bring the game into overtime and then eventually the the shootout where the Bruins would pick up their third win in a row thanks to an unlikely hero.
