Bruins coach sounds off on Saint Islanders
New York went 3-for-4 on the power play on Monday, including Barzal’s goal with 1:11 left in the opening period to tie it at 1-1. Barzal skated into the right circle and wristed the puck through a tight window high to Rask’s glove side.
“I think they sell a narrative over there that’s more like the New York Saints, not the New York Islanders,” Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy said via NESN.
