Tonight, the Boston Bruins will look to bounce back against the Buffalo Sabres in Game 2 of the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs, taking place at KeyBank Center in Buffalo, New York. After a disappointing performance in Game 1, where they lost control during a critical five-minute stretch, the Bruins aim to deliver a more cohesive effort over the full 60 minutes. Head coach Marco Sturm has called for his team to regroup and focus on the present, stating, 'yesterday was yesterday, today is today.' Despite having the fourth-best face-off win percentage in the regular season, the Bruins struggled in Game 1, winning only 32 face-offs compared to the Sabres' 31. The Bruins will need to improve their puck management and adapt to the Sabres' aggressive forecheck, which wore down their defensemen. With the Sabres leading the series 1-0, the Bruins must make necessary adjustments to avoid a quick exit from the playoffs.
