The Boston Bruins are all in and off to their best start through nine games in team history.

That, more Boston Bruins, and NHL news. Also, the latest in NHL trade and free agent rumors in the latest Boston Hockey Now Bruins Daily:

Boston Bruins

The Boston Bruins are off to their best start through nine games in the 98-year-history of the franchise after Linus Ullmark led the way with a 30-save shutout in a 4-0 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets.

The NHL did the right thing suspending Detroit Red Wings forward Michael Rasmussen for his careless high-stick to the head of David Krejci but that doesn’t change the fact that the Bruins were without Krejci Friday against the Blue Jackets and very likely more games than that.

With both Krejci and Brad Marchand out Friday night, the Bruins called up forward Jakub Lauko prior to the game Friday night.
