What we learned following the Bruins’ rout of defending champion Colorado

The Boston Bruins took care of business Wednesday night against a banged-up Colorado Avalanche bunch.

Very rarely, if at all, is that terminology applicable for a regular season tilt against the defending Stanley Cup champions. The Bruins continued trending upward in their 4-0 victory. The Avalanche find themselves on a rocky climb, with Nathan MacKinnon becoming the latest marquee name to join their ever-growing injury list.

The depth couldn’t have been more disparent. The Bruins overwhelmed the Avalanche in the attacking end, generating quality scoring chances through their aggressive and stout puck possession.

Boston’s defense kept Linus Ullmark’s crease relatively clean, allowing few secondary scoring chances.
