“We just got sick of losing,” head coach Bruce Cassidy said following the Bruins’ 3-1 win over the Blues on Feb. 1 — two nights after the Ducks snapped Boston’s 18-game point streak.

Seems like yesterday that two Original Six teams went toe-to-toe in the Stanley Cup final; Chicago prevailing, 4-2, over Boston.

The Philadelphia Flyers were winless in their first four games of March when they took the ice at TD Garden on Thursday night against their archrivals.

By now, you’ve all heard the Bruins being in the next man up phase. To refresh, the B’s started the week without Patrice Bergeron and Charlie McAvoy; both nursing lower-body injuries.
