Monday was a milestone night for Charlie Coyle. Playing in his 538th regular season game, Coyle recorded the 100th goal of his NHL career. The goal came on a short-handed effort to give the Boston Bruins a 5-0 lead against the Capitals, and was just another example of how valuable Coyle has been for the Bruins during his short time with the team.
Coyle has played primarily on the third line for the Bruins, but there is an argument to be made that he is the most valuable forward on the team aside from the top line of Patrice Bergeron, Brad Marchand, and David Pastrnak.
