It was a long time coming, but finally the Boston Bruins got the better of the Toronto Maple Leafs, downing the Leafs 4-1 Feb. 3 at TD Garden to end a six-game losing skid against Toronto. The Bruins are an impressive 12-2-2 against Atlantic Division opposition and will seek their first win at the Air Canada Centre since a 3-1 verdict on March 26, 2016.
The New Jersey Devils went four games without solving the New York Islanders before handing the Isles a 4-1 drubbing Jan. 16 at the Barclays Center. But three of those four losses came on the road. The Devils' previous triumph over the Isles was on home ice at the Prudential Center. The Buffalo Sabres have lost four in a row to the Washington Capitals at the Capital One Center.
