Optimism was abundant for a seemingly rudderless Bruins team after Tuesday night.
In a season where the Bruins have sleepwalked through multiple matchups, a .500 roster finally offered up some fight in St. Louis — rallying back from a two-goal deficit in the third period en route to a hard-earned, regulation win.
Seemingly little has gone right for the Bruins so far in 2024-25, be it a dearth of scoring, a recent slew of injuries, and severe regression across several foundations of the roster on the blue line, power play, and in net.
But for the first time in a long time, the Bruins seemingly had momentum on their side entering Thursday’s road matchup against the Dallas Stars.
