“We’ve been playing some pretty decent hockey, especially based on the guys that we’ve been missing,” Brad Marchand said during the Bruins’ optional skate at Warrior Ice Arena on Saturday. “We’re working on different areas of our game and those areas continue to improve. As long as we continue to get points we’ll continue to grow our game and trend upward.”
For 40 minutes, the Bruins played pretty well against the Washington Capitals. If the hockey game was played for only 40 minutes, then Marchand and company could have expanded their point streak to seven games.
Their first win against the Capitals since 2014 could have been in reach if that were the case.
