Bruins shutout Sabres 4-0


Boston Bruins forward Carl Soderberg scores off some amazing passes from forwards Chris Kelly and Loui Eriksson to give the Bruins a 4-0 lead in the 2nd period, on October 18, 2014.
Tonight the Bruins shutout the Buffalo Sabres in a game they should have won against a struggling young Sabres team. Simon Gagne played on a line with David Krejci and Milan Lucic and he looked good on it. Hopefully the Bruins can build off this win and carry it to their next game.
