The Boston Bruins (8-1-2) are second in the Atlantic Division behind the Buffalo Sabres (?!), but that’s a far better record than the San Jose Sharks (4-7-1) who sit in seventh in the Pacific Division thanks to the Los Angeles Kings.
The Bruins are riding a three-game win streak. The man everyone loves to hate, Brad Marchand, was named the NHL’s first star of the week after notching eight points (3 goals, 5 assists) in the past three games. On Sunday, he had five points in the Bruins’ 7-4 win over the New York Rangers.
