Final
Bruins try to rebound from tough loss
Dec 29, 2006 - 4:43 PM Boston (18-13-3) at Chicago (16-15-5) 8:30 pm ESTCHICAGO (Ticker) -- The Boston Bruins saw their losing streak end in devastating fashion against the Columbus Blue Jackets. They hope to pick themselves up against another foe from the Central Division.
The Bruins try to rebound from a difficult loss when they visit the Chicago Blackhawks on Friday.
Boston led the Blue Jackets, 4-3, in the third period on Tuesday but wound up dropping a 5-4 overtime decision.
Bruins goaltender Tim Thomas might finally be starting to show signs of fatigue, as he allowed five goals on 32 shots. Thomas has appeared in 29 of Boston's 34 games this season.
The Blackhawks have won two of their last three and try to build off a 2-1 triumph over the Dallas Stars on Tuesday. Denis Arkhipov and Martin Lapointe scored power-play goals for Chicago while Nikolai Khabibulin made 20 saves.
