Now one more victory is enough for Buffalo to qualify for the quarterfinals. On Sunday evening local time in Sweden, the home crowd in Boston was stunned.
Within just over ten minutes, Buffalo scored four straight goals against Boston goalie Jeremy Swayman.
Peyton Krebs started the scoring spree 4:17 into the game - at 14:24, Bowen Byram made it 4-0.
The second period was scoreless before Buffalo extended its lead to 5-0 and then 6-0 in the third period. Boston's Sean Kuraly scored a consolation goal in the final period.
On Wednesday night local time in Sweden, Buffalo can secure advancement on home ice.
