The Bruins returned to game action this past Tuesday after having a week off due to the National Hockey League’s All Star Game. Zdeno Chara, Tim Thomas and Tyler Seguin were the three Bruins players who represented the Hub of Hockey in Ottawa for All Star Weekend.

The week started off with a third period come back against the Senators, followed by back-to-back losses to the Carolina Hurricanes and Pittsburgh Penguins. The B’s finished the week on a high note with a Sunday afternoon win over the Washington Capitals.

The Black and Gold had a unusual five-game week that saw them go 3-2 in the span. The Bruins started the week with a shootout win in Florida, and ended it with a shootout win in Philadelphia. In between the shootout wins we saw a win against the Devils, and losses to the Lightning and Rangers.

A few Bruins had very good weeks for the Black and Gold, but one Bruin once again stood tall over all his teammates.

The Bruins kicked the three-game week off with a solid third period effort that helped them take down the Winnipeg Jets. The B’s continued their winning ways when they took down the Montreal Canadiens in a game that saw Mike Cammalleri pulled and traded mid-game. The Black and Gold finished the week with a sloppy loss in Carolina Saturday evening.

Despite the two wins, it was some of sloppiest hockey we have seen in the Hub of Hockey since the defending Stanley Cup Champions started the season off with a 3-7 record.

After dropping their New Year’s Eve tilt to the Dallas Stars the Bruins turned the page to 2012 and started the first week of the new year off with a bang.

The B’s scored 15 goals in the first  two games of the week while taking down the New Jersey Devils 6-1 followed by a complete thrashing of the Calgary Flames the following night 9-0.

The week concluded with the matchup everyone has been waiting for since last June when the Bruins traveled to Vancouver for Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals. The result in Saturday’s tilt was not as good as the one last summer as the Canucks got the best of the Bruins winning the game 4-3.

Two games, two wins and four points.

The Boston Bruins couldn’t have asked for anything less before their holiday break extending their winning streak to six in the process. The Black and Gold (23-9-1, 47 points) currently lead the New York Rangers and Philadelphia Flyers (46 points each) by one point in the Eastern Conference standings and trail the league leading Chicago Blackhawks (48 points) by a single point.

A big part of the recent success is due to the contributions of second year forward Brad Marchand, who earns Bruins Daily player of the week honors for the second time this season and his first since the beginning of the season.
