Behind their steady defense and goaltending, the Bruins embarked on another strong start to the season. But Boston’s offense took center stage in Thursday’s win over the New York Islanders.
Trent Frederic kicked off the scoring to begin a productive night for Boston’s second line, delivering a slick wrist shot from the slot for his third goal of the season on a feed from James van Riemsdyk.
“JVR made five outstanding first passes,” head coach Jim Montgomery said. “Frederic and Coyle always had chemistry together…played well together, so it was really nice to see.
