Bruins are not in hibernation
Bruins 3 – Panthers 2 Boston fans are celebrating after last night’s come from behind victory against the defending Cup champions which keeps Boston in the midst of a three-way tie competing for the last wild card seeding in the Eastern Conference.
Five minutes into the third period the Panthers score 5 on 3 to take a commanding 2-0 lead over their hosts, but with 11 minutes remaining in the game Boston scores three times over an eight-minute span securing another home (19-11-5) victory.
Newest Bruins and former Sabres, Center Mittelstadt and Defenseman Jokiharju combine to assist Boston in scoring their first goal.
Tonight, the Sabres are in Motor City to take on the Eastern Conference Red Wings, a team that is still realistically in reach of the final wild card seeding, just behind Boston, New York, and Montreal in a very tight race to the playoffs.
