2. Sean Kuraly is a goal scoring machine

I don’t know what has gotten into Sean Kuraly, but he needs to keep his daily routine for the rest of the season. In Kuraly’s last 2 games he has managed to score a goal.

Kuraly had another hard-earned goal. He fought in front of the net and was able to put home the rebound to give the Bruins a 3-2 lead with 9 minutes left in the game.

I think that Kuraly is an underrated part of the Bruins lineup. He is a quality bottom 6 forward. Kuraly knows how to lay into guys and can also be a quality player in the offensive zone.

So far this season Kuraly has 4 goals and 6 assists. That isn’t bad for what is considered the Bruins 4th line center.

The Chris Wagner move seems to be working wonders because Kuraly and Wagner love playing with one another. They complement each other so well and consistently have quality performances.
