In their last game against the Ottawa Senators, despite scoring five goals and maintaining an even faceoff win percentage of 50 percent, the Bruins fell short with a save percentage of only 77 percent.

Their faceoff win rate was strong at 64 percent which helped control possession throughout the game.

Against the Coyotes, they continued this trend by winning six points to three and once again dominating faceoffs with a win rate of over 55 percent. Their goaltending was solid as well, posting an 88 percent save rate.
