Krejci and Kase

While one member of Boston’s second line appeared to struggle, two others looked really good. David Krejci and Ondrej Kase were on fire.

Kase has had his issues since the season restarted. He failed to even practice with the team officially before Boston left for the bubble. The pressure was on Kase to perform. When it mattered, he did.

Krejci has been looking for that partner that can raise his game to the next level. Kase appears to be the guy that he needed.

Kase assisted on Krejci’s goal in the third period and the duo connected on some great plays. If they keep performing like this the Bruins will be tough to beat.

Then if DeBrusk is able to improve the line will almost be unstoppable. Boston’s opponents should start to worry.

Hopefully, Krejci and Kase will continue to perform well and add some depth to Boston’s offensive efforts.
