That was 10 days worth the wait.
The Boston Bruins returned from their bye week as a rested bunch against a desperate Winnipeg Jets bunch. It didn’t take long for them to shake off the rust.
Bruce Cassidy’s squad found themselves trailing 1-0 after Patrik Laine notched his 18th of the season 6:06 into the opening stanza. Then Charlie McAvoy delivered a game-changing hit on Mark Scheifele.
What followed in the spirited contest resembled the Big Bad Bruins of yesteryear. The Bruins backed one another up in their four — yes four — fights with the Jets during a physical 60-minute tilt.
