Game 34 Recap: BRUINS 2 DEVILS 0 WIN 6-IN-A-ROW IS MORE IMPORTANT THAT 19-IN-A-ROW

For the first time all season, the Bruins win a 6th game in a row.  Phil Kessel's streak is broken, but it's ok.  The win is most important.

In the first two periods, this is the only play that matters:
What a save by Thomas.

Then SOME goal scoring does happen.  Lucic happens.  Clemmenson has been a rock all night long at the rock (hehe, get it?) but he can't stop the 3rd rebound.  Lucic nails it in from the slot.

1-0.  You're glad we finally scored.  Lucic has scored in the last 8 games.  Chara and Hnidy get the assist.

Not much happens in the middle 18 minutes of the third.  The puck moves back and forth, but both goalies are on their game.

1 minute left, faceoff in the Bruins zone.  Clemmenson is pulled.  Krejci gets the EN goal.

2-0.
GAME.

WIN!

Big win, as it's the first time the Bruins have gone 6 in a row after having 4 4+ game win streaks so far.  I was really worried about this game going in.

Thanks again to Puck Daddy for answering the 5 questions.  His prediction of 3-2 didn't quite come true, but I'll keep reading him anyhow.

Longest winning streak of the year, for the Bruins.  The Bruins come home for Christmas and then head out for a three game road trip to finish out the year, playing in Carolina, Atlanta, Pittsburgh in a 4 day trip.

Record: 25-5-4 (W6)
Away: 12-4-3 (W3)
L10: 9-1-0
December: 9-1-0
Krejci Streak: 6
Lucic Streak: 8
Kessel Streak: Ended at 18
GO BRUINS!

After Sunday, the Bruins are power-ranked #1 at JOKESPN, in case you're curious.

"ovenduo" was my bot-check word for this comment. Sounds like a crappy name for a band.
