Boston has faced several instances recently where they played three games within a span of four days. Following their 3-1 victory against the Columbus Blue Jackets on December 2nd, the Bruins enjoyed a three-day break before their home game against the Buffalo Sabres. However, despite the extended rest, the Bruins couldn't regain their momentum and suffered a 3-1 defeat to Buffalo.
Two nights later, the Bruins displayed a positive reaction by securing a 5-3 victory against the Arizona Coyotes. The brief period between games worked in Boston's favor as they managed to achieve a win and recover from their previous setback.
After enjoying an additional three-day break, the Bruins will resume play on Wednesday night against the Devils in New Jersey, initiating another sequence of three games within a four-day span.
