Mounds of snow continue to make getting around Boston difficult, and a new hurdle for drivers came Wednesday.

The city allows drivers to use space savers — objects placed in a street space that’s already been dug out — for 48 hours after the end of a snow emergency. That deadline came at 8 p.m. Wednesday.

“You have 48 hours to use a space saver after the end of a declared snow emergency,” the city wrote. “By 8 p.m. Wednesday, January 28, you need to remove it from the street.”

Boston added that space savers can never be used in Bay Village or the South End.

The team behind several popular hand roll spots in Boston has opened its newest concept near a college campus.

NoriNori Test Kitchen, opened at 399 Chestnut Hill Ave., Brookline on Tuesday, Jan. 27.

Located just steps away from Cleveland Circle and Boston College, the Japanese bar and restaurant is the third venture from NoToro Hospitality Group. The group oversees other popular sushi spots including Matsunori Handroll Bar in Fenway and Mai, which opened in Seaport in September 2025.

“Norinori is a salute to the humble bento, bringing their affordability, simplicity, and versatility to Brookline and modernizing their traditional flavors with a boldness that reflects our industrial cyberpunk-inspired space,” the restaurant’s website states. “Bentos fuel Japan. From Tokyo to Hokkaido. Come join us as we welcome them to Brookline.”

Keeping NoToro’s focus on affordability, NoriNori’s menu consists of moderately priced hand rolls and bento boxes.

Boxes range from $19-$27 and come with diners’ choice of protein, rice, soup and salad. Standouts include the $24 Gyukatsu, a fried beef sirloin cutlet with homemade tonkatsu sauce, and the Miso Butter Cod (also $24), which features Atlantic white cod marinated for 24 hours in a homemade miso butter mix.

Meanwhile most of NoriNori’s hand rolls are between $5-$6. Diners familiar with NoToro’s other concepts will recognize these rolls, which feature several staple fish including salmon, tuna, yellowtail and eel.

NoriNori is open Tuesday through Sunday from 5:30-9:30 p.m.

The Bruins may not liked how they got to the end result on Tuesday night at the Garden, but results are all that matter right now.

For the second night in a row, the B’s could not protect a lead that they held after 40 minutes. But unlike the verdict in Manhattan, the B’s were able to get the full two points on the table in overtime.

It took just 15 seconds into OT.

Mark Kastelic won the opening faceoff and Charlie McAvoy skated with it into the offensive zone. Marat Khusnutdinov jumped on for Kastelic and, after some razzle-dazzle, McAvoy sent a backhand pass toward the top of the crease to David Pastrnak for the redirection goal for the 3-2 win. It was an all’s-well-that-ends-well kind of night for Pastrnak, who took a costly penalty late in the second period that helped Nashville get back in the game.

The day was an interesting one for the B’s.

The schedule gives and it takes away, and Tuesday was a night when the B’s were at a distinct disadvantage. Because of flight issues related to the winter storm, the B’s could not fly out of New York on Monday after their overtime loss to the Rangers and were forced to bus back up to Boston, arriving back home around 1:30 pm on Tuesday.

The Preds on the other hand, last played on Saturday afternoon and chartered into Boston on  Saturday night to beat the blizzard.

The team chefs arrived with meals at Hanscom Airport to help the players fuel up. Skills coach John McLean, who doesn’t travel with the team, also went the airport and shoveled out the entire traveling party’s cars, no small task with the amount of snow dumped on the region.

“We owe him a couple of beers,” said Morgan Geekie. “It takes a village and everybody stepped up today no matter how it was. Happy we could get the win.”

With all the help they did get, coach Marco Sturm wasn’t going to allow his players an out if they did lose in OT.

“It doesn’t matter if we lost the game or whatever. That shouldn’t be an excuse,” said Sturm. “Guys were ready to go today. You’re not always perfect Our third was definitely better than (Monday). Couldn’t close it but guys came back and showed character and at the end of the day, we need to take all the points we can get….I’m just happy the way the last couple of weeks went.”

Dating back to their New Year’s Eve win in Edmonton, the B’s are 11-2-1 in their last 14.

Despite the travel complications, the B’s were the ones to score the lone goal in the first period, which came off the stick of Sweden’s newest Olympian, Hampus Lindholm. The defenseman took the puck down from the left point to the circle and sent what looked like a harmless shot toward the net. But working the net front after winning the faceoff back to Mason Lohrei, Fraser Minten went for the tip and missed, but that seemed to distract Juuse Saros enough to allow the puck to get behind him for the 1-0 B’s lead at 13:16.

They made it 2-0 early in the second period, thanks to the simmering stick of Geekie. Pastrnak first danced around Roman Josi just inside the Nashville blue line and then shoveled the puck along the left boards to Geekie. Geekie took a few strides toward the net and, from the bottom of the circle, snapped a shot that beat Saros off the far post and in. It was Geekie’s 30th goal of the season and fourth in three games while Pastrnak extended his point streak to eight games.

Though the game was a snoozer, the B’s appeared to be in full control. That is until their season-long problem raised its ugly head again – penalties.

Late in the period, Pastrnak took a bad slashing on Josi in the neutral zone. It was the B’s fourth penalty to that point and, this time, the Predators made them pay. From above the right dot, Josi’s low shot got under Jeremy Swayman’s glove with 35 seconds left in the period, changing the complexion of the game just like that.

“Obviously I know it’s a bad penalty and I apologized to the group and moved forward,” said Pastrnak.

To make matters worse, the B’s lost Elias Lindholm to an upper body injury off a faceoff late in the period and he did not return. Sturm did not have an update after the game but said the centerman would be getting some tests on Wednesday.

In the third, the B’s had a great chance to regain the two-goal lead when Casey Mittelstadt, from behind the net, found a wide-open Viktor Arvidsson a the top of the crease,  but Saros stoned him.

And with 6:43 left in regulation, the Preds tied it. After matching roughing minors, Nashville scored on the ensuing 4-on-4 when Nick Blankenburg used the extra room to roam free out high and he beat Swayman with a long shot under the blocker.

It stay deadlocked after 60 minutes. It got unlocked 15 seconds later. On the winner, another non-uniformed member of the B’s had another big assist. The plan, as usual, was for Kastelic to take the opening draw and jump off the ice. This time Khusnutdinov was set to jump on. Only problem was, he was missing a skate blade.

Equipment manager Keith Robinson heard assistant Matt Falconer yell out “Khusy needs steel!” As soon as Robinson snapped the blade in, Khusnutdinov jumped onto the ice and joined the weave in the offensive zone, dropping the puck for the circling Pastrnak,  who then executed the pretty give-and-go with McAvoy for the winner.

As Geekie said, it takes a village.

Loose pucks

Hampus Lindholm will be going to the Olympics after all. Due to the injury to Jonas Brodin, Lindholm was named to Team Sweden on Tuesday, where he’ll join Bruin teammate Elias Lindholm. Other Bruins going to the Games in Milan, Italy will be Swayman and McAvoy (USA), Pastrnak and Pavel Zacha (Czechia), Henri Jokiharju (Finland) and Providence Bruin Dans Locmelis (Latvia).

“Any time you put (the Sweden jersey), it’s such a cool jersey, it has so much history tied to it. I haven’t had any opportunity for the Olympis for me in my career, so it’s going to be a great honor to go there,” said Lindholm… Alex Steeves was scratched in favor of Mikey Eyssimont, who played his first game since Jan. 11…Nikita Zadorov, who missed Monday’s game with a lower body injury, returned to the lineup and saw 21:53, second most on the B’s to McAvoy’s 27:14.
