Recap: Bruins rout Devils, 8-1, on big second period

A six-goal second period from the Boston Bruins helped propel the team to a decisive 8-1 victory over the New Jersey Devils tonight at the TD Garden.

It was a refocused game for the B’s, who were on the other side of the contest Tuesday night.

The Bruins kicked the night off with a tally from Matt Grzelcyk 57 seconds into the first period. After some timekeeping issues which delay the game less than a minute later, New Jersey began to play the physical game.

The B’s third defensive pairing of Josh Brown and Mike Reilly, who are fighting for their spot in the lineup, used that physicality to their advantage.
