Dmitry Orlov showcases his value to Bruins in defensive baptism by fire against Oilers

It’s a testament to the on-ice brilliance put forth by Connor McDavid that the Bruins’ film review on Tuesday morning likely won’t harp too much on the damage done by Edmonton’s franchise star.

Hockey is a game of mistakes, sure. But McDavid is the type of generational talent where his offensive-zone wizardry with the puck is accepted more as a force of nature than a fault on one’s own defensive structure.

The uber-skilled pivot scored two goals against the Bruins on Monday evening, giving him 50 tallies in just 61 games this year.
