New year, same dynamic goaltending pattern.
Tuukka Rask kicked off the year with a stellar outing in Dallas on opening night. His fellow partner in crime, Jaroslav Halak, took the reigns in Arizona two nights later.
The Bruins only lit the lamp three times in their first two games, including once Saturday night in a desert goaltending duel featuring Halak and Coyotes netminder Darcy Kuemper. Brad Marchand scored the lone tally and Halak provided a clinic with his 35-save outing in Boston’s 1-0 victory at Gila River Arena.
Here’s what we learned as the Bruins improved to 2-0 on the young season.
