Bruins drop Sabres, start new kind of streak


The Boston Bruins defeated the Buffalo Sabres 3-2 in a shoot out tonight. Two wins in a row, that's what you call a WINNING streak, which is the first since Dec. 30, & Jan. 1

The win tied the Bruins for eighth place in the conference with the Philadelphia Flyers. With the OTL, Buffalo received a point, and needed it to stay a top of the Northeast division. They are now tied with the red hot Ottawa Senators with 72 points.

Your Boston Bruins will head to Tampa Bay tomorrow and play the much improved Lightning on Thursday. Tampa Bay is two points ahead of Boston in the standings and sits in sixth place.

Steve Stamkos has had a break out second season and is a top 10 scorer in the league. This should be a good test for Boston, and all indications are that Tuukka Rask will start in Tampa.

All is quiet on the trade front and there is no chance Boston will make a deal before March. Tim Thomas rumors, hot on Sunday are dead right now and Ray Whitney won't be dealt until after the Olympics.
