A 4-3 mark in October provided the Boston Bruins with their share of ups and downs.
Bruce Cassidy’s squad began the season on the right foot with a 3-1 opening night win over the Dallas Stars. A tough loss in Philadelphia led to bounce-back efforts against the then-undefeated Sabres and Sharks. Then the offense hit a lull in their two-game trip in Florida and Carolina before bouncing back in the third period at home against the Panthers Saturday, overcoming a late 2-1 deficit behind Charlie McAvoy’s equalizer and Charlie Coyle’s lone shootout tally.
The Bruins have some momentum heading into the first week of November after knocking off the unbeaten Panthers.
