The Boston Bruins return to TD Garden looking to stay alive in Game 6 against the Buffalo Sabres.
Trailing 3-1 in the series, Boston stayed alive on the road in Buffalo thanks to an overtime goal from David Pastrnak; now, the Bruins need a win in front of the home crowd to force a Game 7 on Sunday.
Marco Sturm’s squad will be looking for a different effort in Boston this time around. In Games 3 and 4, Buffalo was able to take a commanding lead in the series, outscoring the Bruins 9-1 over two games. With their backs against the wall, expect an all-out effort from the Bruins in what could be their final home game of the season.
Follow along for live updates as the Bruins look to force a Game 7 against the Sabres.
