Player of the Week: A two-horse race

Just when we thought the Boston Bruins were performing the best they had all season, from the front office to the ice, the team somehow managed to surprise us again.

By the end of the week, the Bruins had completed a sweep of their four-game road trip, in spite of injuries to Taylor Hall and Nick Foligno, only to return home, acquire Tyler Bertuzzi and then win two more games to stretch its winning streak to 10 games.

Oh yeah, let’s not forget they became the fastest team in history to reach 100 points.

But unlike previous weeks, there are only two choices for player of the week, not because anyone played especially poorly, but because these two blew the doors off the rest of the team in terms of how well they played.
