The Bruins (22-8-4) have been inconsistent recently, going 2-4-1 in the seven games leading up to Sunday, but their focus against the Sabres resulted in a gritty, hard-fought road victory.

"When things haven't really been going for us, we've kind of got frustrated and let it get the better of us Grossiste Air Max Fille , " Bruins forward Milan Lucic said. "But today, we just tried to stay positive and tried to stick with the game plan and stay patient, and it worked out for us. "

In particular, the Bruins focused on going hard to the net, and both of their goals came in front of the Buffalo crease.

After more than two periods of scoreless play, Krejci broke the deadlock on a rebound.

It wasn't Krejci's eighth goal of the season.

Krejci also set up Horton's goal three minutes later. The center raced up the left side of the ice and found Horton camped in front of the Buffalo net for an easy tap-in, Horton's 11th goal.

"It was about staying positive and sticking with the game plan and doing the right things, but every period we talked about getting a little better in certain areas, and guys answered well, " Bruins coach Claude Julien said. "After the second period, we needed a better net-front presence and better net drive, and I think when you look at the goals Grossiste Air Max Junior , that's what happened. "

Bruins goalie Anton Khudobin was terrific, making 26 saves to pick up his second career shutout. One of Khudobin's best saves came on a two-on-one opportunity just past the midway point in the first period. Buffalo's Tyler Ennis deked to his forehand on a break with teammate Marcus Foligno, but Khudobin came up with the pad save.

"He was unbelievable, " said Boston defenseman Matt Bartkowski, who picked up his first career point on Krejci's goal. "The first 10 minutes, we wouldn't have won the game if he didn't play that well. They should have had three or four goals, definitely.... That first 10 minutes was huge. "

The Sabres (13-17-6) had several chances in the Boston end but were unable to get any pucks past Khudobin. Buffalo's struggles on the power play continued against the Bruins Grossiste Air Max Femme , with the Sabres going 0-for-4 with the extra man.

Sabres interim coach Ron Rolston was generally pleased with Buffalo's effort, though, despite his team's inability to find the back of the net.

"I thought that was probably one of our best games since I've been here, " Rolston said. "We played a complete game, had a couple mistakes there at the end. But we didn't take a penalty the whole game. I thought that was one of our best team games since we've been here, hands down. "

Miller Grossiste Air Max Homme , who agreed with Rolston, had 29 saves for Buffalo.
