Boston beat its Original Six rival 4-1 on Saturday to solidify its hold on the top spot in the Northeast Division and improve to 13-0-1 since the start of November.
Things are about to get a little more difficult though. The Bruins head to Pittsburgh to take on Sidney Crosby and the Eastern Conference-leading Penguins on Monday night, then stay on the road with their first visit to Winnipeg in 15 years on Tuesday. If the Bruins haven’t appreciated the mild winter we’ve had so far this year in New England, a night in frigid Manitoba should do the trick.
But will those back-to-back games cool off the Bruins’ play on the ice? Can Boston sustain this level of performance for the rest of the season and into the playoffs? Did the Bruins make the right decision with their $15.75 million commitment to David Krejci last week?
