The Boston Bruins rebounded from a Game 1 collapse with a decisive 4-2 victory over the Buffalo Sabres on Tuesday night. After surrendering a two-goal lead late in their series opener, Boston stormed ahead with four first-period goals, including two from Viktor Arvidsson and one each from Pavel Zacha and Morgan Geekie.

Goaltender Jeremy Swayman made 34 saves and bounced back from Sunday's struggles, posting two scoreless periods. The Bruins' aggressive forecheck and physical play dominated much of the game, though Buffalo mounted a late comeback with goals from Bowen Byram and Peyton Krebs in the final seven minutes. Coach Marco Sturm credited his team's improved execution and identity-driven hockey for the win.

Despite Buffalo's late push, Boston smothered the Sabres' attempts at heroics to even the series at 1-1. The victory marked Boston's first road win of the postseason, setting up a crucial Game 3 in front of their home crowd. With tensions escalating between the teams, the series now shifts to a best-of-five format where every game carries amplified importance.
