Entering Sunday night’s tilt, both the Bruins and Devils had little time to dwell on their setbacks to the Sabres and Blue Jackets, respectively. Both teams had nights to forget as the B’s fell flat in a 4-2 loss to the lowly Sabres at TD Garden while the Devils suffered a 6-1 shellacking in Columbus.
It wasn’t exactly the finest form of hockey Sunday night, but the Bruins found a way to win ugly against the ice-cold Devils, who have now dropped four straight.
Here is what we learned as the Bruins earned a wild 5-3 victory at Newark’s Prudential Center.
