Boston Bruins Week Ahead 11/8 - 11/14

B'S, THOMAS LOOK TO KEEP ROLLING: The Bruins are 5-1-0 in their last six games and will look to continue their recent run when they host the Northeast Division leading Buffalo Sabres on Saturday night at the TD Banknorth Garden. B's goaltender Tim Thomas – who leads the NHL in save percentage (.944) – has started the last five games and has compiled a 4-1-0 record. Thomas, who owns a 1.85 goals against average, good for third in the league, has conceded just six goals over that span.

TOUGH ROAD AHEAD: The Bruins next four opponents have a combined 33-10-7 record as of Friday, November 7. After playing the 8-2-2 Sabres on Saturday, they will travel to Chicago to face the 6-3-3 Blackhawks on Wednesday, November 12, return to Boston to face the 8-1-1 Canadiens at home on Thursday, November 13 and travel to New York City to play the 11-4-1 Rangers on Saturday, November 15.
