In the opening two weeks of the season, the Boston Bruins adjusted themselves to long layoff between games. They had a 10-days break between their preseason finale and their regular-season opener, and another three days from their first win of the season over Dallas to their sloppy 6-3 loss to the Flyers on Wednesday night.
This time, the Bruins only had 48 hours between the setback in Philadelphia to Friday’s tilt in Buffalo against the Sabres. And they turned to a former Sabre to backstop them to victory.
Linus Ullmark stood tall in his first career start with the Bruins.
