The Bruins’ defense is on a scoring tear these last few weeks.
A Boston blueliner has lit the lamp in five straight games, with both Charlie McAvoy and Hampus Lindholm joining that offensive surge Sunday night against the Sharks.
Most of McAvoy’s offense originates from point blasts and feeds through Grade-A ice. But against San Jose, McAvoy did his best Bobby Orr impression.
Receiving a feed just past Boston’s blue line, McAvoy turned on the jets through the neutral zone. By the time Erik Karlsson and Timo Meier tried to form a wall of resistance down their end, McAvoy smelled blood in the water.
