a victory in New York over the Islanders<\/a>. Boston also won at Los Angeles, but lost in Anaheim and San Jose on the trip.<\/p>\n\u201cWe came into the trip wanting to at least be .500 on it, and felt like we left some points in California in a couple of those games,\u201d Bruins forward Tanner Jeannot said. \u201cWe knew we wanted to come out and play [Wednesday\u2019s] game really hard, finish off the road trip, and head back home for Thanksgiving. The boys battled hard.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Rangers have followed up a four-game skid with back-to-back wins \u2013 including a 4-2 road win against their Metropolitan Division rival Carolina Hurricanes on Wednesday \u2013 to move above the .500 mark at 12-11-2.<\/p>\n

Notes: Bruins forward Alex Steeves, who played on a new-look fourth line with Sean Kuraly and Mikey Eyssimont, recorded the first two-goal performance of his NHL career in Wednesday\u2019s victory. \u201cI\u2019m not thinking I\u2019m David Pastrnak or anything all of a sudden, but it definitely gives me confidence,\u201d Steeves said. … Goaltender Jeremy Swayman could be in line for his fourth consecutive start for Boston after making a career-high 44 saves against the Islanders. He is 7-2-0 with a .935 save percentage across his last nine starts. … Both teams are playing the front end of a back-to-back. The Bruins face the Red Wings on Saturday, while the Rangers return home to face the Lightning. … The Rangers were out-shot, 38-18, by the Hurricanes on Wednesday. <\/p>\n
