2. There is plenty of scoring

The Bruins have lit the lamp a lot this season. This is always fun to watch as a fan but also is important to the Bruins success. When they are scoring in bunches they are able to take the pressure off of their goaltenders.

Boston’s best player so far this season has been David Pastrnak. In just 20 games Pastrnak has 17 goals and 8 assists. He is leading the NHL in goals and is an early candidate for the Hart Trophy.

This has been the season that Bruins fans have been waiting for from Pasta. He has struggled to score consistently but now he is finally putting it all together.

Jake DeBrusk has also been great as of late. He has 5 goals and an assist in just 6 games. The 2nd line winger struggled early on to find the back of the net. Now it looks like DeBrusk can’t be stopped.

As long as the Bruins continue to score they will have a successful season.
