BUFFALO - The Bruins put forth a furious comeback effort in the third period, scoring three straight goals to pull within one, but ultimately it was too little too late as Boston's six-game winning streak came to an end with a 6-4 setback to the Buffalo Sabres on Friday night at KeyBank Center.
Boston fell behind, 5-1, early in the third period but stormed back with three goals - one each from Nick Ritchie, Kevan Miller, and Taylor Hall - in a span of 5:06 to cut the deficit to 5-4.
The Bruins appeared poised to tie the game as they pulled Jaroslav Halak for an extra attacker, but Buffalo capitalized on a turnover with an empty-netter with 42 seconds remaining to end any chance of a magical comeback.
