During Thanksgiving week, Boston hockey fans thanked the Bruins for extending their win streak to five. They did not play their best hockey in two of those games — both on the road against the Maple Leafs and Red Wings — but they got the job done and stole four points away from TD Garden. The Black and Gold completed the week with a thrilling 4-3 win over the Rangers on “Black Friday.”
Thanks to a newcomer finding his spot on the fourth line, a local product delivering a game-winner and strong goaltending last week, the Bruins find themselves in the top eight in the Eastern Conference.
