The Bruins secured a 4-2 victory over the Sabres, leveling their playoff series at 1-1. They scored four goals in the first 41 minutes, with Viktor Arvidsson netting two. Goaltender Jeremy Swayman made 34 saves, contributing to the win. Coach Marco Sturm praised the team's physical play and adherence to their identity.
