The Boston Bruins picked a good time to compile victories.
Wednesday’s 5-1 drubbing of the lowly Montreal Canadiens in front of a rabid TD Garden faithful marked Boston’s sixth triumph in seven games since their COVID-19 pause.
Bruce Cassidy has a healthy scoring balance with his four forward trios. His elite players, like a stitched-up Brad Marchand, who notched his third-straight multi-goal game following his fifth career hat trick, have led by example. The bottom-six continued to contribute to the scoring uptick highlighted by Curtis Lazar’s three-point outing against the Habs.
And they’ll have a reinforcement in Tuukka Rask for the second half of their scheduled back-to-back Thursday night against the Philadelphia Flyers.
