Player Comments
“It was a big team win,” Zacha said. “Until the end, all the lines were going. Even through injuries, a couple of guys leaving the game, we stuck together and won the game.”
“We’re doing enough right things to hang in games, and if you give yourself a chance you put yourself in a spot to get points,” Kuraly commented. “There are still things we want to clean up, but we’re sticking to our systems and we’re eliminating major mistakes that ended up in the back of our net during that losing streak.”
The Bruins (9-7-0) showed resilience, recovering from a tough six-game skid earlier in the season and managing to secure important wins by focusing on teamwork and discipline.
Summary
The Boston Bruins extended their winning streak to five games, overcoming injuries and past struggles through strong teamwork and key contributions from players like Zacha and Kuraly.
