TV: NESN

Radio: WBZ

vs. Buffalo Sabres (18-15-5)

Notes:

• I still don't like Pominville.
• The Sabres have a better PK than the Bruins. 3rd best, even.
• Krejci has gotten a point in each of the Bruins wins on the current streak.
• Matinee game means morning post means not the most in-depth ever.

Previous Games:

In each previous game, the home team has won.

• Game 6: Bruins 2 BUF 2 SO LOSS in Buffalo.  Ryan Miller stole that game.
  
• Game 14: Bruins 3 BUF 1 Win at home.  As Jack Edwards said, "Chucky's Back!"
  
• Game 19: Bruins 7 BUF 4 Win at home.  This game was insane, with it being 3-4 at the end of the third.  Manny then doesn't let anything in for the rest of the game.
  
• Game 22: Bruins 2 BUF 3 Loss in Buffalo.  The game-winner is a SHG.  Derek Roy shot one off of Krejci's stick into the net.
