In their second post-trade deadline contest, a rejuvenated Boston Bruins squad found their mojo Thursday night against a heavy New York Islanders squad.
Bruce Cassidy’s bunch cohesively clicked from the get-go. In search of their first win of the season against Barry Trotz’s club, the Bruins fired a whopping 23 shots on net in the opening 20 minutes. Brad Marchand scored his first of two on the night and Craig Smith continued his hot streak with his 16th point in the last 14 games following his power-play marker, giving the Bruins a 2-0 cushion at the first intermission.
