Bruins vs Blue Jackets Preview: Revenge Game For Bruins

After losing three straight games, the Boston Bruins have won their last two games. On Sunday night, they will have a chance at revenge against the last team that beat them, the Columbus Blue Jackets, who visit TD Garden for a rare Sunday night game in Boston.

Not only did the Blue Jackets upset the Boston Bruins last Monday in Columbus, but they embarrassed them in a 5-2 win over a disorganized Bruins squad. That loss seemed to wake the Bruins up, though, as they followed it up with a dominant 3-0 win over the San Jose Sharks on Thursday night and then a thrilling and resilient 4-3 overtime win over the Maple Leafs in Toronto on Saturday night.

Can the Bruins get revenge on an upstart Blue Jackets team that has gone 1-1-0 since beating the Bruins last Monday?
