COMMENTARY
New year, same dynamic goaltending pattern.
Tuukka Rask kicked off the year with a stellar outing in Dallas on opening night. His partner-in-crime, Jaroslav Halak, took the reigns in Arizona two nights later.
The Bruins only lit the lamp three times in their first two games, including once Saturday night in a desert goaltending duel featuring Halak and Coyotes netminder Darcy Kuemper. Brad Marchand scored the lone tally and Halak provided a clinic with his 35-save outing in Boston’s 1-0 victory at Gila River Arena.
Here’s what we learned as the Bruins improved to 2-0 on the young season.
