Great win by the Bruins last night, but playing back-to-back games on the road can be tough. Boston might get Savard back tonight (not sure about that, but I know he is close), so that could be a nice added spark. Thomas will be back in net tonight. He has had a good amount of time off now, so I am expecting him to really be on top of his game.
Buffalo is in first place in the Bruins' division, so this really could be a statement game for the Bruins that they are back. Boston took them down not to long ago, so Buffalo should be out for revenge. I expect a hard hitting game, but I think Boston can pull out another game if the crash the net like they did last night against the Thrasher. Lucic made a big difference and the whole team seemed to play better together.
The one concern is that the Bruins still have not played a complete game. They play 1 or 2 good periods, but let teams get back into the game by falling apart for long stretches. This can be corrected by the "stars of the team (Chara, Krecji, Ryder, ect) these guys need to play hard throughout the game, so the young guys will follow.
Game starts at 7:30pm on NESN.
