Rare is the opportunity for a set of Buffalo teams to sweep Boston clubs on a weekend, but after a convincing 5-0 win against the Boston Pride, the Beauts’ brethren took on the Bruins in Beantown in a pivotal midseason matchup.
Tied with 50 points, Boston held the slightest of margins over the Sabres in the Atlantic standings. The game’s story really is a reflection of two teams in very different parts of the season thus far. Boston has been steadily climbing the ranks, while Buffalo has been treading water for the better part of a month, since following a ten-game winning streak with a five game slide.
