The Bruins line of Patrice Bergeron, Brad Marchand and David Pastrnak could barely get away from the full five man unit of Tom Pyatt, Jean-Gabriel Pageau, Mike Hoffman, Cody Ceci and Dion Phaneuf. Of 55 events (not just shot attempts, but everything - faceoffs, whistles, hits, etc) that the Boston trio were on the ice for, 39 of them were against those five players. Another nine (none shot attempts for Boston) were with four of those five players on the ice. There were only two events - a hit and a shot, both by Ottawa - with none of those five Senators on the ice.
