The Boston Bruins ran through one of their toughest gauntlets of the season over the last week. They proved that they are indeed for real after taking nine of a possible ten points against the likes of the Sharks, Blues, Golden Knights, and Lightning.
Saturday’s tilt with the lowly New Jersey Devils at TD Garden had all the makings of a trap game. The Bruins weren’t sharp at times, but they did just enough to get by in a draggy low-scoring affair.
“Can’t all be pretty one’s especially the way they play, they play hard and they’re aggressive,” Brad Marchand said postgame.
