During the win streak, 16 Bruins have scored goals, led by winger Jarome Iginla with nine. He has six goals in the past four games, including one Tuesday in a 4-2 victory at New Jersey, according to NHL.com.

"I just think our guys have been playing hard throughout the whole lineup," coach Claude Julien told the team's website. "You know, we just finished five games here in seven days, and that's got to be tough on players, and in order to have that kind of success in that short span, you've got to be able to utilize your whole bench as much as you can."

Colorado dropped into third place in the Central Division after a 5-4 overtime loss at Winnipeg on Wednesday. The Avalanche scored 20 seconds into the game but fell behind 12 minutes later and never regained the lead, according to NHL.com.

"We were not trying to find excuses. We haven't done that all year," coach Patrick Roy said. "We just wanted to make sure we had a good start, and we did. We scored on our first shift. I thought our guys had good legs... We need to be ready for the Bruins on Friday night."
