NESN.com –The Bruins finally snapped out of their recent funk with an impressive 4-2 win in St. Louis on Wednesday. Now they’ll try to win back-to-back games for the first time since Jan. 10 and 12 when they return to Buffalo on Friday.
To do that, the Bruins (36-20-2, 74 points) will need to play much better than they did in their last visit to Buffalo. Boston suffered a season-worst 6-0 loss against the Sabres on Feb. 8, as Buffalo exacted a little revenge for the division rivals’ earlier clashes this season.
The last time the Bruins played in Buffalo and they got SPANKED 6-0. Both Thomas and Tuukka gave up three goals, Rask was pulled in the second period after giving up his third goal.
Chances are Rask will get the start tonight considering it has been a week since his last start, Thomas started on Wednesday and the B’s turn around and play again tomorrow night in Ottawa.
