The Bruins faced one of their toughest tests of the young season on Thursday and passed with flying colors on Thursday.
Facing a surging, physical New York Rangers team that believes it’s a true contender in the Eastern Conference, the Bruins coughed up two one-goal leads but finally squeezed the life out of the Blueshirts in the third period a 5-2 win at Madison Square Garden. In the third period, the Bruins out shot the Rangers 17-4.
The Bruins improved to 10-1 and Linus Ullmark stretched his record to 8-0.
