COMMENTARY
They haven’t made things easy for themselves over the last week or so, but the Boston Bruins are finding ways to win.
The trend continued on Sunday when the Bruins welcomed the high-tempo Colorado Avalanche — a team they haven’t beaten at home since March 29, 1998 — with an expected high-scoring game in mind. What they got instead was a war of attrition in a tilt featuring the NHL’s top two scoring lines.
Boston’s stifling defense helped them claw their way back from a 1-0 deficit. They got a goal from an unusual suspect after John Moore’s point shot found its way past Semyon Varlamov for the second-period equalizer — a tally that ultimately forced overtime.
