BOSTON (Ticker) -- For the first time this month, the Boston Bruins will try to bounce back from a regulation loss.
Boston hopes to get back into the win column when it hosts the New York Islanders on Friday.
The Bruins had gone 9-0-1 in November before falling, 3-2, to the Buffalo Sabres on Wednesday. Rookie defenseman Matt Hunwick and Phil Kessel scored for Boston.
Returning to the TD Banknorth Garden may help Boston avoid dropping consecutive games for the first time since a three-game slide from October 20-23. The Bruins have won seven consecutive home games, the team's longest stretch since an eight-game run from November 2-29, 2002.
New York had its two-game winning streak snapped in a 5-3 setback to the Pittsburgh Penguins on Wednesday.
Doug Weight, Trent Hunter and Bill Guerin scored for the Islanders, who had a 3-0 lead at the 9:27 mark of the second period.
Boston won three of the four meetings with the Islanders last season.
