The Boston Bruins are going to be shorthanded when they take on the Winnipeg Jets on Thursday night at the TD Garden. And they might be very shorthanded.
Jake DeBrusk scored for the second straight night, Anton Khudobin turned away 36 shots and the Boston Bruins blanked the Buffalo Sabres 3-0 on Tuesday.
Charlie McAvoy had never really given much thought about completing a Gordie Howe Hat Trick, but it was one of the many accomplishments for the Bruins in their 7-2 drubbing of the Blue Jackets on Monday night.
Tuukka Rask stopped 16 shots to keep up his hot stretch and the Bruins beat the Blue Jackets 7-2 on Monday night.
For all of their recent success in winning nine of their past 13 games (despite losing their past two), the Bruins still have a second-line crisis.
The Rangers won for the ninth time in 13 games overall and beat the Bruins for the seventh straight time.
If Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy decides to take rookie Anders Bjork out of the lineup Saturday, the Notre Dame product will be looking to follow his sometimes linemate Jake DeBrusk's model for handling being a healthy scratch. After DeBrusk was scratched Nov. 11, DeBrusk's responded with an assist in his next game and six points (two goals, four assists) in six games before leaving the lineup with an upper-body injury. Bjork could use that type of response after having one point (a goal) in five games since he returned from missing seven games with an injury.
After losing his second straight start Thursday, Bruins goaltender Anton Khudobin sounded like a downtrodden fortune cookie. "We shot a lot of pucks and some things didn't go our way," the Bruins' backup said. "When the black cat crossed the road, it's just a black cat crossed the road." Unfortunately for Khudobin and the Bruins, they weren't playing against cats of any color – just the Washington Capitals, who continued their run of dominance against the Bruins with a 5-3 win at TD Garden. The Capitals have won 11 straight against the Bruins, including six straight in Boston.
