On Wednesday, Bitz scored the first goal of the game against the Minnesota Wild — a goal that would prove to be crucial. The Wild later tied the game at one, but the Bruins would go on to win in a shootout.
Two days later, Bitz assisted on the Bruins' only goal of the game.
Bitz finished the week with a 1-1-2 line and a plus-2 rating as the Bruins went 2-0-1.
