Notes

  • David Krejci had three assists in the game.
  • The Bruins outshot the Sabres, 37-24, but Buffalo did not record a shot in the third period until there was 10:01 left in the game and the B’s ahead, 4-1.
  • David Pastrnak and DeBrusk each had a power play goal. It marked the third consecutive game the Bruins have scored a power play goal.
  • Trent Frederic played 5:28 of the first period, but did not return for the final two periods and the team announced he suffered a lower-body injury.
  • In the last eight games, the Sabres are 0-for-19 on the man advantage. The Bruins have killed 29 of their last 32 penalties.
  • Former Bruin Colin Miller was in the lineup for the Sabres on defense. The Bruins lost Miller to the Vegas Golden Knights in the expansion draft in 2017.
  • After playing just over 30 minutes Tuesday against Pittsburgh, Charlie McAvoy played “only” 23:07 Thursday. He still was by far and away the leader in time-on-ice.
  • Grzelcyk and Pastrnak each finished with a team-high six shots on the net.

Stars of the Game

Jaroslav Halak: 23 saves on 24 shots to help the Bruins deal the Sabres their 13th straight loss.

Greg McKegg: First shift he scores his first goal with the Black and Gold. He won eight of his 11 faceoffs.

Craig Smith: He scored his fifth goal of the season, but it might have been one of the better all-around games in a while.

Matt Grzelcyk making a difference offensively. light. Must Read

David Krejci: He had a hand in three of the B’s four goals. Not a bad night for the veteran center.
