New York. Who will be able to stop the Boston Bruins?
Last night they beat Buffalo and became the first player in NHL history to reach 100 points after just 61 games.
– Personally, I admire our game, said coach Jim Montgomery after the 7-1 defeat.
All in all, it was a great evening and night for the Boston Bears.
First, they secured the services of shooting king David Pasternak for eight more years with a princely contract worth nearly a billion kroner.
Then they traded the coveted Tyler Bertuzzi from Detroit – in exchange for a conditional first-round pick in the 2024 draft and a fourth-round pick in 2024.
And so they completed the day with a 7-1 shot against Buffalo at home at the TD Garden – without even having time to activate Bertuzzi.
In doing so, they also made history, because the victory meant that they had reached 100 points after only 61 games and this is a new record. The Montreal Canadiens had the previous best record with 62 games played in the 1976-77 season.
– For me personally, this does not mean much. We’re just trying to live in the moment and take care of what we need to take care of,” says trainer Jim Montgomery.
– But I myself admired the way we played tonight. I immediately felt that we were “in” and were going to play really well:
The only drop in the so-called cup:
Brad Marchand had to leave the game due to an injury.
We don’t know for sure yet, but we don’t think it’s dangerous, says Montgomery.
Hampus Lindholm assisted a goal and thanked Pastrnak for the record contract by scoring twice.
Looks like the Pittsburgh Penguins have finally found that to be true.
They picked up their fourth straight win last night, against Tampa, and it was ensured when Jason Zucker, after preparatory work by blue and yellow duo Rijkaard Raquel and Marcus Peterson, made it 5-4 in overtime.
We have a lot of respect for Tampa and I think the boys are very proud to have been able to beat them twice in one week. We’ll build on that, says coach Mike Sullivan.
Victor Hedmann scored his sixth goal of the season at the end of the third period, saving a point for the home team.
Overnight, the Florida Panthers had a golden opportunity to solidify their stakes in the East Line race, but they put up a great egg and were knocked down 2-1 by a Nashville team that nearly dismantled the entire operation and ran away after playing in the last 24 hours.
– I want nothing more than to win, and I am upset about this result, says top scorer Ryan Lomberg.
Considering that the past few days have lost key players like Phillip Hronk and Tyler Bertuzzi in threes, the Detroit Red Wings stood up well in their home game against Seattle and also got a point as a bonus.
But in extra time, Dane Oliver Bjorkstrand made it 5-4 to the visitors and made sure that they got two very important points on the West Coast.
– If you think about how incredibly large they are in the stream, you cannot describe them as anything other than that they are very large, says the champ.
Swedish rising star Jonathan Berggren scored his 12th goal, assisted by Gustav Lindström, and Alex Weinberg was credited with an assist for Kraken.
Dallas really owned Chicago tonight. First, they took Max Dumy—one of the few remaining “names” on the Hawks’ squad—at three. Then they won a meeting at the United Center 5-2 (without Domi on the ice, though).
