Recap of Last Game
Bruins 1 @ Sabres 1
With no scoring in the first two and a half periods it looked as if it was going to end in a 0-0 tie. Luckily with 2:34 left in the 3rd period Martin Lapointe put in his 7th goal of the season. The Sabres (14-10-6) knew they needed to score and with 6 men on the ice got a goal past John Grahame with 1:03 left. In overtime penalties hurt the Bruins chances. The Sabres had a two man advantage at one point but couldnt put in a goal to win it . Biron had 35 saves for the Sabres while Grahame had 32. Next up for the Bruins are the 13-14-2-3 Capitals. After that the Bruins have two more games at home before the Christmas break.
