The Bruins were seeking their 15th straight home win yesterday afternoon, but met with stiff competition from Division rivals, the Sabres.Tim Thomas got the start over (the more logical choice of) Manny Fernandez, who has won each of his recent games against Buffalo, whereas Thomas has lost three straight to the Sabres.
Goalmouth scrambles, deflections, and loose defensive coverage allowed the Sabres to get the lead and keep it throughout this game, and while Boston was able to respond with goals from Thornton and Kessel, it was not enough for the win.
Of Note: The Bruins home-win streak therefore ends at 14 games. This is the B's first home loss since October 23rd. They play again on Tuesday, when they welcome the Wild to the Hub.
