Marc Savard scored twice and Tim Thomas decided no puck would pass him as the Boston Bruins rolled past the Dallas Stars 3-0. This was the Stars first regulation loss of the season.
After a rough homestand that saw the Bruins play some of the most inconsistent hockey we've ever had the displeasure of watching, the Bruins hope this victory will spark them. Of course, if recent history proves true they'll get blown out next game.
The Bruins were finally able to score a power play goal as well, as Savard's first goal came with the man advantage.
The forecheck that Coach Claude Julien had spoke of all pre-season finally made an appearance as Dallas had a lot of trouble getting into the Bruins zone, and most of the Stars' shots came from the outside.
The Stars were coming off a big 6-0 victory of the Nashville Predators and were disappointed to be on the other side of a shutout.
"After a big win like that, we wanted to keep the ball rolling," Stars defenseman Stephane Robidas said. "But (the Bruins) were just a better team than us. They didn't do anything special. They used their size, used their speed and brought a lot of pucks to the net."
The Bruins continue their round trip tonight against the Phoenix Coyotes.
