The Boston Bruins defeated the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday night at TD Garden by a score of 7-1. Anders Bjork was sent to the Bruins AHL affiliate earlier this week and will be out of the B’s lineup until he gets his game back together. Adam McQuaid also remains out of the lineup as Matt Grzelcyk has been playing very well. Patrice Bergeron had himself a night recording four goals and an assist.
First Period:
The Boston Bruins scored a whopping five goals in the first period. The Hurricanes pulled goaltender Cam Ward after both Patrice Bergeron and Riley Nash scored to put the B’s up 2-0. Scott Darling relieved Ward and was even worse than Ward probably would have been if he remained in the game.

The Carolina Hurricanes scored on the power play to make it 2-1 Bruins in the first period when Staal fired the puck past Khudobin. The B’s responded quickly with a power play goal from David Pastrnak followed by goals from Jake DeBrusk and Patrice Bergeron once again.
The B’s went into the second period holding a 5-1 lead over the Carolina Hurricanes.

Continuing their absolute domination of Carolina, Patrice Bergeron added his fourth goal of the night to put the B’s up 7-1 going into the third period. The last four-goal game recorded by a Bruin was when Dave Andreychuk scored four in a game on October 28, 1999 against the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Patrice Bergeron(16)- Assisted by David Pastrnak(22) and Brad Marchand(22)
Third Period:
The third period was pretty uneventful. By the third period, the Bruins knew they had won the game and the Hurricanes had lost all hopes of making a miraculous comeback. No goals were scored in the third period and the Bruins sat on the lead making smart plays and not allowing the Hurricanes to create any scoring chances.
My Three Stars of The Game:
Patrice Bergeron- 4 G, 1 A- 5 P
David Pastrnak- 1 G, 2 A- 3 P
Brad Marchand- 4 A- 4 P
Post Game Analysis:
The Bruins are rolling right now, they have won 8 of their last 10 and have outscored opponents 40-13. The B's have scored five or more goals in 5 of their last 9 games and now have a record of 23-10-6. With games in hand on every team above them in the standings, the Bruins sit 7th in the league. The Bruins are playing great hockey right now and are getting goal scoring from all four lines right now. When it's not the kids scoring it's the veterans and vice versa. Don Sweeney and Bruce Cassidy have done a fantastic job with this squad and we can only hope that they keep playing like this.
