Boston entered play coming off a 3-1 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday, and although it was another disappointing loss, head coach Marco Sturm was pleased to get a point to get closer to clinching a playoff spot. "A huge point for us," Sturm said as seen on NESN’s postgame coverage on Sunday. "Guys battled back.
We wanted to have a power-play goal in the third and we did. 'Korpi' made some great saves. Unfortunate there in OT, but we'll definitely take that point.
” The Bruins are now 43-26-9 and remain in the top Wild Card spot in the Eastern Conference with 95 points, and are six points up on the New York Islanders, who are the first team out of a playoff spot. So, although the Bruins did lose the game, getting a point is crucial as Boston is closing on clinching a playoff berth, with just four games to go this season. Boston will return to the ice on Tuesday on the road against the Carolina Hurricanes, before taking on the Tampa Bay Lightning at home on Saturday in a potential playoff preview.
