After starting the season on a slow note, the Boston Bruins are now the hottest team in the NHL and will look to win again on Wednesday against the Buffalo Sabres.

Second of six meetings between these Northeast Division rivals. The Bruins scored a 6-2 win at TD Garden on Nov. 12 in a game that was best remembered for Milan Lucic's hit on Ryan Miller when the Buffalo goalie came out of his net to compete for a loose puck. Miller later left the game, was diagnosed with a concussion, and hasn't played since. Lucic had a hearing with the NHL regarding the play, but was not suspended.

While the return of Sidney Crosby in Pittsburgh garnered the lion's share of attention League-wide on Monday, the Bruins quietly went about extending the NHL's longest win streak this season to nine. In a game originally set to be nationally televised before Versus switched to the Penguins-Islanders broadcast, Tim Thomas recorded his second consecutive shutout to make an Andrew Ference first-period goal hold up against Montreal.

Continuing a perfect month of November and seemingly clicking on all cylinders, Boston paid back Montreal for a home-and-home sweep suffered at the hands of the Canadiens at the end of October. That proved to be rock bottom for the Bruins, who haven't lost since. They racked up 42 goals during the first eight games of their winning streak, but Carey Price limited them to just Ference's score with 4:19 left in the first on Monday. That was enough for Thomas, who stopped 33 shots and extended his shutout streak to 133 minutes, 4 seconds.

During Miller's absence, Buffalo has split four games -- however, both the victories came on the road while the Sabres have lost their last two at First Niagara Center, where they're 5-6-0 for the season. Improving their home record doesn't figure to get any easier with the additional loss of defenseman Tyler Myers for the next month due to a broken wrist that required surgery. Myers was recently a healthy scratch for a game, but then came back to score twice in a loss to New Jersey before getting hurt in Saturday's 4-2 defeat at the hands of Phoenix.

Ference has goals in back-to-back games for the Bruins. Chris Kelly assisted on Monday's tally, giving him 4 goals and 3 assists in the last five games. Thomas is now tied for the League lead with 3 shutouts.

Buffalo will be hard pressed to stop one of the best teams in hockey as they are playing at a really high level heading into the holidays.
