The Boston Bruins won two out of three games in their first road trip of the season. That’s pretty good considered the B’s had four rookies on the ice and played without their best all around player, Patrice Bergeron. The Bruins alternate captain has been battling a lower-body injury that has caused him to miss the first three games of the season.
With the absence of Bergeron other players had to stand up. David Backes wore the ‘A’ in lieu of Bergeron the first three games and he did his job as both a leader and as a center.
