The Boston Bruins played the last two games without Patrice Bergeron in the lineup. Injuries are never a good thing, but in this case, Bergeron’s absence did give us the chance to see a new first line.
David Krejci took Bergeron’s spot in between Brad Marchand and David Pastrnak. And through games, this top line looked almost as dangerous as it did before.
Saturday night against Washington, Pastrnak scored his league-leading 17th goal of the season. Krejci picked up a secondary assist. Pastrnak also had five total shots on goal.
