The Boston Bruins entered this week with a favorable schedule to get back on track. They took care of their first order of business Tuesday night against the lowly New Jersey Devils.
A pair of goals from both David Pastrnak and Matt Grzelcyk and a tally from New Jersey’s own Connor Clifton along with another strong outing from Tuukka Rask sparked the Bruins — still without Patrice Bergeron and Torey Krug — to a 5-1 victory in Newark. Here’s what we learned as Boston improved to 13-3-5 on the season.
