Boston Bruins Have A Winning Streak On Their Hands
By Justin Doyle
Boston Bruins Have Found Chemistry.
The Boston Bruins Have been very good in their past three games. Sunday Marked a 3-game win streak for the B’s.
The Bruins win last night against Colorado marked their third win in a row. This will be there second three game win streak this season. Other than those two times the Bruins have had difficulty stringing wins together.
Their winning streak can be attributed to the teams new-found chemistry. Most of the goals have come from the Patrice Bergeron line. Brad Marchand and David Pastrnak are first and second in points for the Bruins. Marchand has 5 goals and 11 assists for 16 points. Pastrnak has 10 goals which leads the team, and 4 assists for 14 points. Pastrnak is having a breakout year, and if he keep scoring he will be one of the top scorers in the league. As of now he is tied for third in the league for goals.

The other line that has found some chemistry is the David Krejci line. David Backes who has 7 points, along with the floater that has been in and out of their line. It has mainly been Ryan Spooner has playing very well after being benched a couple of weeks ago.
David Krejci has become hot of late as well with two goals in the last three games. With the two goals Krejci now has 10 points on the season. He is third on the team for points.
Another player that can hopefully get going is defenseman Torey Krug who had his first goal of the season in the Bruins game against Columbus.
"“It was a good feeling. Obviously, individually, you want to get off a little cold streak that you have, and it’s nice to get on the board. But I think it was an important goal for the game. We knew that they started fast. They always outscore their opponents for the first couple periods. So it was important to get us back into the game, and it was just a good feeling for sure.”"
Here are some quotes from the Games:
Blue Jackets Game
“We definitely assessed that there’s 40 minutes left and the game’s not over,” said Rask, who is 8-1-0. “We have to keep playing the same way as we did. It’s a cliché, but that’s all you kind of have to put in your head and go out there and work. And we did today, and that paid off in a big time. We never really gave them a break.
Coyotes Game
"“I guess the stats show it, too, but when you score first, I think the odds are better. We used to not play with the lead in the past couple of years and that’s kind of comfortable for us, but it helps that we play good defense and keep the goals against down.”"
Colorado Game:
"“I think a lot of it is how we’ve played,” said Rask. “I think we’ve played so solid for the most part that it obviously helps a lot for a goalie when I can see those pucks and then they keep teams on the outside, so I think those two things are probably the biggest.”"
Rask posted his third shutout of the season on Sunday.
