“When guys get traded, they always wanna get on the scoresheet as quick as they can,” head coach Bruce Cassidy said after the Bruins’ 4-3 overtime win over the Hurricanes. “…And good for them.”
Cassidy was praising two of the newest Bruins acquired during the NHL trade deadline. For them, “as quick as they can” meant their TD Garden debuts on Tuesday night.
While Charlie McAvoy stole the show and became the youngest-ever defenseman in the franchise to score an overtime goal with his game-winner, Rick Nash and Tommy Wingels also etched their names in Bruins history.
