The Buffalo Sabres seemed to have solved the puzzle of the Bruins' explosive offense last Saturday night. Boston was down 1-0 in the second period and in trouble.

However, with 12 minutes, 20 seconds left in the second period, center Chris Kelly fed a pass to center Rich Peverley. He forced the puck in twice before finally inserting it in a small opening behind Sabers goalie Ryan Miller to even the score.

From then on, the "Wooooooos" would echo time and time again throughout TD Garden en route to the Bruins' 6-2 win Saturday night against the Buffalo Sabres. Boston continues to look increasingly like the team that won the Stanley Cup last season. The Bruins also defeated Edmonton 6-3 and the New York Islanders 6-2 earlier in the week.

Bruins left wing Brad Marchand said after the game he was pleased with the team's recent play. "Yeah, I guess it's been much better. We're just getting better playing the way we want to play and it shows on the ice. It's a great feeling when you're winning games."

Sabres right wing Jason Pominville, five minutes, 30 seconds into the first period, fired off a pass to left wing Thomas Vanek who then tapped the puck past the outstretched hands of goalie Tim Thomas. The Bruins, however, would not allow another goal until late in the third period.

After the goal by Peverley, Boston notched its second goal of the period with 6:31 remaining. Marchand intercepted a Sabres pass and then drilled a pass to center Tyler Seguin for his 10th goal of the season. Boston's third goal came 16 seconds afterward from Nathan Horton.

The offensive onslaught continued in the third period. Peverley first capitalized on a Sabres turnover, firing a pass off to Kelly, who then came up with the goal.

Seguin then notched his second goal of the game and 11th of the season, tying his season total in goals from all of last year.

The Bruins tacked on their last goal ten minutes into the period. Marchand slammed the puck in the top shelf, giving Boston a convincing 6-1 lead.

Boston would pull away with the 6-2 victory.

Earlier in the week, the Bs reached the .500 mark with a 6-3 victory against the Edmonton Oilers, the leaders of the Northwest Division with a 9-3-2 record.

Seven minutes into the first period, defenseman Johnny Boychuk fired another "Johnny Rocket," his second of the season.

The Bruins scored again with 11:05 remaining. Center Zach Hamill hit rookie right wing Jordan Caron with a clean pass, where he notched the goal.

Not to be outdone, Oilers defender Theo Peckham found the net with 7:58 remaining. Just 30 seconds later, Oilers left wing Taylor Hall found center Ryan Nugent-Hopkins to even the score.

Marchand capitalized on an Oilers power play, releasing a quick shot on a short pass from defender Joe Corvo.

Later that period, Seguin elevated the puck over goaltender Devan Dubnyk, putting the Bruins up 4-2.

In the third period, the Oilers tried to counter with a Smith goal.

Lucic, however, helped Boston score on a power play of its own, bringing the score to 5-3. About 30 seconds later, Marchand tacked on to the lead, scoring his second goal of the game.

Lucic recognized that the Bruins should not let their recent success interfere with their play.

"We've worked extremely hard to get out of the hole and put ourselves at .500 ... and we're going to only have to work harder to get on the winning side," he said.

To start off the week, the Bruins had another high-scoring affair, this time against the New York Islanders.

The Bruins started the onslaught with a rare goal from left wing Benoit Pouliot in the second minute of play.

The Islanders responded immediately with a goal on shot from Steve Staois, evening the score at 1-1. However, the Bruins would not be denied the lead for long. Nathan Horton then put in a rebound from defender Zdeno Chara at 6:53. Twenty-nine seconds later, Seguin added another goal for the Bruins.

After Islanders coach Jack Capuano subbed in goalie Al Montoya, the Islanders started to play a better offensive game, resulting in a slap-shot goal.

After a scoreless second period, the Horton-Krejci-Lucic line dominated the final period of play. Horton found Lucic in the middle on a breakaway in the third to put the Bruins up 4-2. Less then a minute later, Horton notched his second goal of the night, a backhanded shot past Montoya. Krejci scored an empty netter with 3:38 to go in the game to seal the Bruins win.

The Bruins will look to extend their winning streak tonight at home against the New Jersey Devils at 7 p.m. The team then ends its homestand against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Thursday night at 7 p.m.
