THE Boston Bruins blew away the New Jersey Devils with a six-goal blitz on Wednesday to move within a point of top spot in the Eastern Conference.
After going a goal down in the first period, the Bruins hit back with six unanswered strikes to rout the Devils 6-1 and get back to winning ways.
Boston (25-10-1), last season's Stanley Cup champion, had a seven-game win streak snapped on Saturday but Wednesday's win closed the gap on the East-leading New York Rangers.
New Jersey took a 1-0 lead on David Clarkson's goal early in the first but that was the highlight of the Devils' night. Gregory Campbell tied the score at 8:15 in the first period before Nathan Horton put the Bruins ahead five minutes later.
Patrice Bergeron made it 3-1 in the second after blocking a shot and taking the puck himself for a goal.
"You want to defend when someone is in a shooting zone, but to turn it into a goal and make them pay is a big turnaround," Bergeron said.
He also added a snap shot early in the third to make it 4-1. "I want to be in those situations. It's something really important."
David Krejci and Shawn Thornton also converted in the third to cap the devastating scoring burst.
