""I think we all should feel embarrassed by what happened yesterday," Sturm said before facing the Islanders. "I'm not going to sit here and just move on through the next one. I'm a competitor; my guys in my room are very competitive. We all take a lot of pride in games like that. We just want to be better and show a response today.""
""You could feel the energy in the room after the first [period]. We knew we can still win this game," David Pastrnak said. "The belief was there, the positivity after the first period was great. So [it's] not a surprise that we came out with a win because our mind-set was there and focused today. . . . Mind-set can do magical things.""
The Bruins responded to a blowout loss in Ottawa by rallying from a 2-0 first-period deficit to defeat the Islanders 5-2. Boston scored three goals in under four minutes in the second period and produced five different goal scorers. Joonas Korpisalo stopped 33 of 35 shots, including all 15 in the third period. Hampus Lindholm returned to the lineup after a five-game absence, while Mason Lohrei was a healthy scratch. Team energy and a focused mindset fueled the comeback and provided a corrective response after an embarrassing prior performance.
