Just when the red-hot Boston Bruins appeared due for another letdown, they found a way to continue their torrid pace.
A slow start against the Winnipeg Jets didn’t hinder the Bruins, who surprisingly had Brad Marchand in the fold.
Tuukka Rask bounced back after allowing a routine goal by Jansen Harkins on the game’s first shot. Urho Vaakananinen and Boston’s blue-line responded well after a tough break on Andrew Copp’s tally deflected off the young Finn’s skate late in the opening stanza.
The Bruins tightened their defensive coverage in the middle of the ice after the first period.
