"But if the B's can continue to get goaltending like they've gotten the last couple of games, they might be worth a watch. After surviving a six-game losing streak last month, the pendulum is now swinging the other direction. And on Tuesday night, they cooled off one of the hottest teams in the league, shutting out the Detroit Red Wings, 3-0, and riding a dominant third period to the win."
"Jeremy Swayman (24 saves) notched the B's second straight clean sheet after Joonas Korpisalo blanked the Pittsburgh Penguins on Sunday. The B's have now won four straight and six of their last seven to put themselves back in the Eastern Conference playoff picture. The B's went into the third clinging to a 1-0 lead, but outshot the Wings 16-2 in the third and pulled away with two more goals."
"The first period was scoreless but entertaining. The Atlantic Division-leading Wings, who'd won four straight and were 7-2-1 in their previous 10, had played on Monday, beating the Hurricanes in overtime. And the B's jumped on them early, controlling play in the early stages of the first period. Pavel Zacha had a pair of Grade A chances, one a clean one-timer from low in right circle that Cam Talbot stopped and another time when he walked down the slot but his backhander would not go."
Recent goaltending excellence has fueled a Bruins turnaround, producing consecutive shutouts and a four-game winning streak that brings them into the Eastern Conference playoff picture. Jeremy Swayman recorded 24 saves in a 3-0 victory over Detroit, marking the team's second straight clean sheet following Joonas Korpisalo's blanking of the Pittsburgh Penguins. The Bruins outshot the Red Wings 16-2 in a dominant third period that produced two insurance goals. Boston has won six of seven games and can complete a five-game homestand sweep with a win over Seattle. Pavel Zacha generated several Grade A chances, and Swayman made multiple game-saving stops.
