The B's entered Tuesday night's matchup on a high, coming off a OT win at home vs. the Western Conference-leading Nashville Predators. Their win on Saturday was the B's fifth win in a row, marking their longest win streak of the season thus far. The 'Canes quickly shifted the energy, however, coming out strong in the first period on Tuesday night, putting the sixth win in a row out of sight early.
Coming off the loss, the B's stepped onto the ice at Warrior Ice Arena ready for a new day. "Execution and pace is the first thing you are looking for after a night like last night," Bergeron said when asked about what he was looking for in practice.
"Obviously make sure you have the energy up...at times you have to flush it out and look at what you have to do better."
As for Thursday, Bergeron knows the Caps have been keeping an eye on their success and will be ready to bring their physical play to Boston.
"We went out in Washington and had a good game and we know they are going to come out tomorrow ready for us," said Bergeron. "They are a physical team, it's just about being ready for that."
