Final
Bruins continue homestand against Ducks
Feb 26, 2009 - 11:25 AM Anaheim (30-27-5) at Boston (41-12-8), 7:00 pm ESTBOSTON (Ticker) -- A trip back to the TD Banknorth Center appeared to cure the Boston Bruins' woes.
The Eastern Conference-leading Bruins will look for another dominating performance when they continue their season-long, six-game homestand against the Anaheim Ducks on Thursday.
After posting a 1-3-1 record over a five-game road trip, Boston cruised to a 6-1 victory over the Florida Panthers. Rookie Byron Bitz scored two goals and Michael Ryder recorded a goal and an assist in his return from a seven-game absence.
Patrice Bergeron and defensemen Aaron Ward and Mark Stuart netted goals while Stephane Yelle and All-Star Marc Savard notched two assists apiece for the Bruins, who had dropped six of their last seven contests.
Boston, which owns a 20-4-4 record at home this season, has not hosted the Ducks since January 16, 2006.
The Ducks, who are in the midst of a six-game road swing, are coming off a 3-2 triumph over the Buffalo Sabres on Tuesday.
Teemu Selanne and Mike Brown collected unassisted goals and Todd Marchant added a shorthanded tally for Anaheim, which has won back-to-back games following three straight losses.
