Entering last week’s three-game swing through California, the Boston 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, the Bruins entered their Thanksgiving Eve tilt looking to extend their streak to three in a row. Despite blowing a 2-0 first period lead, the Bruins did enough to bring the game into overtime and then eventually the shootout for the 3-2 triumph against a young and improved Devils squad.
