Powered by five unanswered goals, the Bruins pushed their win streak to six games Saturday night in Chicago with a 5-2 win over the Blackhawks.
Bruins defenseman Mason Lohrei led the way for the Black and Gold in the winning effort, with a pair of goals. The two-goal outing was the first two-goal performance of Lohrei's NHL career, while the Bruins got additional markers from Charlie McAvoy, Marat Khusnutdinov, and Viktor Arvidsson on the way to another win.
Victimized for two goals in a two-minute span in the first period, Joonas Korpisalo was dialed in throughout the Bruins' comeback push, and finished with 22 saves in the win.
With the win, Korpisalo improved to 9-8-0 on the season, and has seen his season save percentage rise .015 since the team returned from the NHL's Christmas break, going from .880 to .895 over his last four outings overall.
On the backend, Hampus Lindholm was activated off the injured reserve and returned to the Boston lineup after missing two weeks with an injury.
Lindholm finished the victory with an assist in 20:03 of time on ice. Lindholm's return, which came with Billy Sweezey sent back down to AHL Providence in a corresponding move, came with Andrew Peeke out of action due to a lower-body injury.
Boston's victory gives the team eight wins in their last nine games.
The Bruins will wrap up this quick two-game road trip Tuesday in Dallas.
