Prior to Friday's game at Buffalo, the Bruins assigned forward Brad Marchand to Providence and placed Trent Whitfield on waivers for purpose of assignment to Providence, according to general manager Peter Chiarelli.
4:21 p.m.: Can the Bruins make it two in a row?
Let's take it one step at a time, here.
After Thursday night's 4-3 victory at Atlanta -- which lost at home for the first time in four games -- the B's are riding some momentum, so playing back-to-back games could prove advantageous. But we also know that the Bruins haven't proven they can string together sets of wins consistently, so hopefully Friday marks the beginning of a new trend for Boston.
It's no coincidence that while the Bruins are starting to light up the scoreboard, David Krejci is getting into a rhythm.
Playing back-to-back nights could be a blessing and not a burden for the Bruins on Friday night, when they travel to Buffalo to take on the first-place Sabres.
Tuukka Rask came up huge for the Bruins in a shootout against a potent Atlanta trio, and the B's walked away with a 4-3 win in Atlanta.
