After a brief lull just a few weeks ago, the Boston Bruins are rolling once again and find themselves on top of the Eastern Conference standings as the All-Star Weekend approaches. On Thursday night, the Bruins bounced back after the Senators tied the game in the third period to pick up a 3-2 overtime victory, their 30th win of the season. Bruins' captain Brad Marchand scored under two minutes into overtime to seal the win for the Bruins. David Pastrnak and Trent Frederic each scored in regulation for the Bs and goalie Jeremy Swayman turned away 35-of-37 shots.

While last year the Bruins steamrolled the NHL on their way to a record setting regular season, the team has been a bit more methodical this season but again are on top in the Eastern Conference as the All-Star Break approaches. The Bruins are 7th in the NHL in goals per game this season. They are 14th in shots on net and sixth in shooting percentage. On the power play, Boston is fifth in the NHL this season. Once again, the Bruins have been stingy on the defensive end this season. Boston is ranked fifth in the NHL in goals against average. They are eighth in shots allowed and second in the league in save percentage. The Bruins have been tough on the penalty kill as well, ranked 7th in the NHL.
