Three takeaways as the Bruins’ top-6 lead the way past Washington

What a difference a week makes.

Seven days ago, an injury-plagued Boston Bruins squad fielded an AHL caliber defense in an 8-1 loss to the Washington Capitals at TD Garden. It didn’t take long for Bruce Cassidy’s bunch to forget about that lopsided setback as Don Sweeney provided some needed reinforcements in the final hours of the trade deadline.

The roster makeover following the additions of Taylor Hall, Curtis Lazar, and Mike Reilly provided a tightly-knit Bruins locker room with a shot in the arm. The trade deadline trio has smoothly transitioned to their new home since their respective arrivals from Buffalo and Ottawa.
