As the game began, it became clear that the Coyotes came to play, making life infinitely difficult for Boston to create any consistent pressure, and Boston wasn’t terribly concerned with trying to create any.
Thankfully, after a strong couple of shifts, the first line would hit the ice very late in the period for Brad Marchand to put a shot with eyes on it right past Darcy Kuemper to give the game it’s sole goal. 1-0 Bruins!
Bergeron’s first assist of the season couldn’t have come at a better time.
