The character wins the Bruins got against the Maple Leafs and Red Wings thanks to the goaltending from Tuukka Rask and Jonas Gustavsson. The two netminders bailed out the Black and Gold after they were outplayed in both games.
Against the Rangers, the Bruins needed a better effort. They got it, but they still needed to overcome some second period goals and a questionable interference call on Brad Marchand in their Friday afternoon “Thanksgiving Showdown” at TD Garden. They did just that and sent the crowd home on a high note after a thrilling 4-3 victory over the Blueshirts.
