BOSTON — The Boston Bruins lost Game 1 and responded with an excellent performance in Game 2 in Buffalo to tie the series. Can they do the same thing Sunday and bounce back from a Game 3 loss and tie the series Sunday with a Game 4 victory at TD Garden?
The B’s have scored first in every game, but holding on to leads has been difficult. The third period has been a problem for the Bruins as the Sabres have outscored them 8-3 in those minutes through three games.
Boston has been a resilient team all season. It also has an elite goalie in Jeremy Swayman and more playoff experience than Buffalo.
Can the Bruins end their four-game home playoff losing streak, or will the Sabres take a commanding 3-1 series lead?
