The Boston Bruins<\/a> are turning the page to Game 2.<\/p>\n

Boston suffered a stunning 4-3 loss in Game 1, in a game the Bruins were up 2-0 in the third period, before Buffalo scored four-straight to get the comeback win. It was a disappointing result for Boston, but head coach Marco Sturm believes there are a lot of positives<\/a> to take away and is confident the team has regrouped and is ready for Game 2.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s not much to say usually after losses,\u201d Sturm said after practice on Monday. \u201cBut today, guys know me, I always get to the point right away today even so I feel better. I think these guys feel better, too, after watching.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a long series, we\u2019re ready for a long series, we want to play a long series. That means yesterday was yesterday. Today is today. It\u2019s actually sunny here in Buffalo. We\u2019ve got to enjoy that, regroup, recharge and go back at it tomorrow. I liked our attitude.\u201d<\/p>\n

Boston will get a chance to right its wrong and even up the series on Tuesday night in Game 2 against Buffalo. If the Bruins can win, Boston will take home ice and have control of the series.<\/p>\n

So, ahead of a pivotal Game 2, Bruins defenseman Charlie McAvoy believes the team<\/a> knows what it needs to do to get the win.<\/p>\n

“Come out and just try to play a great hockey game,\u201d McAvoy said. \u201cJust finish it a little bit better.\u201d<\/p>\n

Puck drop for Game 2 is set for 7:30 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n
