Sean Kuraly has been lighting it up as of late. The 4th line center is known for laying hard hits and doing all the little things, but Kuraly is finding a way to score as well.

In Kuraly’s last 5 games he has scored 2 goals. For the type of player that Kuraly is this is great. I am not expecting him to be a top scorer, but it doesn’t hurt to have him lighting the lamp.

It is hard to dislike Kuraly. He plays the game the right way. You can sense his effort whenever you see him on the ice and he is willing to do anything for his team. If you need someone to block a puck, drop the gloves, fight in the corners, or score a goal, Kuraly is your guy.

Kuraly has 4 goals and 6 assists on the season which is pretty good for where he is on the Bruins roster. He has done so well he has even gotten bumped up a line.

One of Kuraly’s linemates is having a surprisingly good season as well.
