Welcome to 10 Insights and Observations. Every week, I’ll use this space to highlight teams, players, storylines, and general musings around the NHL.
This week we look at Mr. Game Winner, the Boston Bruins seemingly never slowing down, a nice 2-on-1 play on offense, some sneaky good defensemen, a Habs goalie flying under the radar and much more.
