PLAYERS: Claude Julien
TEAMS: Boston Bruins

The Bruins outshot Buffalo 36-29. They dominated the draws, winning 45 of 66 faceoffs for a commanding 68 percent success rate. They outhit the Sabres 20-18 and they certainly outfought them the many times the gloves hit the ice. Yet at the end of the night, the Bruins stood on the wrong side of a season-worst 6-0 defeat.
