The Bruins, in part, credited the boost they received from their siblings. However, like many of their previous five wins, the Bruins played to their structure, stayed out of the box, and saw goal-scoring from both sides of the lineup.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Bruins held true to their five-on-five structure, and they have been rock-solid late in games. In the six-game win streak, the Bruins have not allowed a goal in the final 20 minutes. On the other hand, they have scored seven, including two tonight.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCould feel it today, guys had really good energy,\u201d Marco Sturm said about the game<\/a>. \u201cMaybe it was the siblings, I don\u2019t know. But, we got the job done because we just played our game.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThe guys had really good legs today,\u201d Sturm added. \u201cGuys were skating, especially our [defense], and they gave us some big, big, big goals.\u201d<\/p>\n Boston has heavily leaned on their five-on-five game throughout their six-game win streak. Saturday night was no different. Boston limited Chicago to eight high-danger opportunities, compared to Boston\u2019s 12. Chicago had only 15 scoring chances while Boston had 21.\u00a0<\/p>\n Image courtesy of NaturalStatTrick<\/a><\/p>\n The Bruins looked as if they took their foot off the gas pedal at the end of the first. After piling on the first eight shots, Chicago scored twice and registered the last six shots.\u00a0<\/p>\n The response started from the blue line. Charlie McAvoy fired a shot from the slot<\/a>, which beat Arvid Soderblom<\/a> on his glove side.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve been trying tojump in the play more recently, responsibly,\u201d McAvoy said about joining the attack<\/a>. \u201cTry and be a threat, try and be a part of it. I think it\u2019s been effective; it\u2019s been going well. [I\u2019ve] been able to contribute when I get down there.\u201d<\/p>\n On his 25th birthday, Mason Lohrei found the back of the net twice<\/a>, including once in the second period<\/a>. It came on the same day as Lohrei\u2019s name surfaced in trade rumors<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cI think it\u2019s just about getting my feet moving a little more and finding that open space,\u201d Lohrei said about generating more shots<\/a>. \u201cI feel like I do that pretty well. So, getting back to doing that and then getting pucks to the net.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cFor [Mason], it was probably his best game as a Bruin,\u201d Sturm said.\u00a0<\/p>\n Lohrei had two goals on three shots, played for 17:21, and was named the game\u2019s first star.<\/p>\n Viktor Arvidsson extended his current point streak to seven games on Saturday. In that span, he has four goals and four assists; one goal came against the Blackhawks. He connected with Pavel Zacha on a give-and-go play for the Bruins\u2019 third goal of the night<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Bruins skated to a sound third period, much like they have over the course of their streak. Although the Blackhawks outshot the Bruins 10-6, Boston added two goals.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cHaving that confidence now,\u201d the Bruins\u2019 head coach said about his team\u2019s performance in the third period. \u201cWe\u2019re not afraid, because we know in the past it was our best period. That\u2019s the mindset we had today.\u201d<\/p>\n On the final Bruins goal, David Pastrnak drew a slew of Blackhawks defensemen away from the net on a forced turnover from Elias Lindholm. That play afforded Marat Khusnutdinov the lane to drive towards Soderblom\u2019s crease. Khusnutdinov drove, and Pastrnak played the puck directly to his stick, making the fifth Bruins\u2019 goal very easy-looking<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s just getting better every year, and it\u2019s fun to see,\u201d Pavel Zacha said about his fellow countryman broadening his game as a<\/a>playmaker<\/a>. \u201cYou saw how many players were on there, everyone expecting him to shoot. That was three guys on him; he still made a play for an empty-net for Khusnutdinov.\u201d<\/p>\n Joonas Korpisalo made 22 saves in the Bruins 5-2 win. He has won his last three starts and improved his season record to 9-8-0.\u00a0<\/p>\n The goaltenders have played a pivotal role in the Bruins\u2019 six-game win streak. The black and gold have only conceded seven goals in the past six games, and have two shutouts mixed in to that stretch.<\/p>\n \u201cOne, it\u2019s been great goaltending,\u201d Charlie McAvoy said about the win streak. \u201cTwo, it\u2019s been us just kind of sticking to our system.\u201d<\/p>\n So has staying out of the penalty box; the Bruins only took one penalty on Saturday.\u00a0<\/p>\n It has been some of the same factors contributing to the last six Bruins wins, but it displays the consistency of the structure the Bruins have searched for all year.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s just another good effort today,\u201d Marco Sturm added. \u201cThings are going right now, too. So, we\u2019re going to take that, hopefully, to Dallas.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n The Bruins will continue their siblings\u2019 trip on Tuesday night in Dallas, Texas, with a matchup against the Stars (27-12-9).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In a season defined by streaks, both good and bad, the Bruins fought back against an early deficit…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":414082,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5099],"tags":[154,95,5132,530,2154,96,58,5,6164,1714,4],"class_list":{"0":"post-414081","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-boston-bruins","8":"tag-boston","9":"tag-boston-bruins","10":"tag-bostonbruins","11":"tag-bruins","12":"tag-charlie-mcavoy","13":"tag-chicago-blackhawks","14":"tag-featured","15":"tag-hockey","16":"tag-marco-sturm","17":"tag-mason-lohrei","18":"tag-nhl"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nhl\/115915575510497548","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/414081","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=414081"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/414081\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/414082"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=414081"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=414081"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=414081"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"corsi-for](\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1768731190_827_20252026-20763-cfdiff-5v5.png\")
