How quickly can the Bruins put last night’s third period debacle behind them against the Sabres? That is the question of the day as the Black and Gold travel to Ottawa to face the Senators less than 24 hours after blowing a 3-1 lead midway through the final stanza vs. Buffalo.
With the Red Wings victory over the Predators and the Canadiens loss in Washington, Detroit now sits atop the Atlantic Division, while the Bruins enter this afternoon’s game in third place. After Sunday, the B’s will have two games in hand on their Winter Classic opponents while also playing the same amount of games as their other Original Six foes above them in the standings.
