Boston Bruins Notes

–The Boston Bruins have won seven games in a row, the third time this season they have enjoyed a winning streak of at least seven games. Their latest was a well-played 3-2 win over the Edmonton Oilers on Monday night where the B’s got goals from everybody aside from their top line in a performance that highlighted their roster and scoring depth.

-Boston Bruins winger Brad Marchand narrowly missed an injury when he was cut with the skate blade of Darnell Nurse in the first shift of Monday night’s game. Marchand missed a chunk of the first period while getting stitched up, but later returned to the game.

-Boston Bruins winger Taylor Hall is out against the Calgary Flames on Tuesday night after being sent back to Boston with a lower-body injury and is currently listed as day-to-day. Hall’s absence resulted in Nick Foligno being bumped up to the third line.

-Both Dmitry Orlov and Garnet Hathaway picked up their first points in a Boston Bruins uniform with Orlov putting up a two point game in 19:17 of ice time that also included three shot attempts a pair of hits.

Calgary Flames Notes

-Old friend Milan Lucic has still got it with the Calgary Flames as he showed last weekend when he tuned up Colorado Avalanche tough guy Kurtis MacDermid in a true heavyweight bout. Wow.
