COMMENTARY
There’s a chance that if you watched Thursday’s 8-4 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins, you may have seen something you’ve never seen before. Eight combined first-period goals, a Zdeno Chara fight, a David Krejci hat trick, and three goals on the Bruins’ first five shots were just a handful of highlights from Boston’s second straight victory.
Thursday marked the Bruins’ second game since losing Patrice Bergeron for a minimum of two weeks with a foot injury. But, as was the case Tuesday night against the Carolina Hurricanes, the B’s marched on.
Much like Tuesday, the trade deadline newcomers chipped in on the offensive fun as Rick Nash, Brian Gionta and Nick Holden combined for a goal and four assists.
