The Boston Bruins returned home to TD Garden Thursday night fresh off a decisive 5-1 win over the New Jersey Devils two nights prior. Things didn’t come as easy for the Black and Gold upon their return to Causeway Street against Jack Eichel and the Buffalo Sabres.
The Sabres completely dominated the first 10 minutes of Thursday’s Atlantic Division tilt, outshooting the Bruins 11-0 in that span. Defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen scored on an early power play to give his team a 1-0 lead.
Yet, despite arguably their worst opening 20 minutes this season, Brad Marchand tied things up after tipping home a Zdeno Chara shot past Buffalo goaltender Linus Ulmark.
