Notes on the game
For the first time this season, the Boston Bruins take on the Seattle Kraken on Tuesday at home, just where they left off.
The Bruins will play them again on February 26, so it will be a brief season series.
On Tuesday, the Bruins recovered with a stronger collective effort, and perhaps this positive trend will continue. In their shootout loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning, they gained one point.
According to Jim Montgomery, the club is trying to bounce back from a couple below-average games, so they’ll try to move the puck quicker and get it to higher scoring zones.
However, the Bruins’ power play will need to be strengthened. In their past 13 opportunities, they are 0 for 13. Even though the power play didn’t capitalize on any advantages, James van Riemsdyk told the reporters after practice yesterday that they had good puck handling players on the unit and that he saw them get better throughout the game.

The Bruins rallied on Tuesday with a more unified effort, so maybe this winning pattern will hold. They picked up one point in their shootout loss against the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Jim Montgomery claims that the team is attempting to recover from a few below-average performances, thus they will attempt to move the puck more quickly and into higher scoring areas.
The Bruins’ power play, though, will require improvement. They are 0 for 13 in their last 13 chances. James van Riemsdyk told the press following practice yesterday that the power play had good puck handling players on the team and that he saw them improve throughout the game, despite the fact that they were unable to capitalize on any advantages. Charlie 397 goals at the moment.
On Tuesday, the Kraken defeated the New York Islanders 2-1 in a shootout to snap a three-game losing streak. In the previous five games, McCann has five points for Seattle, including two goals.
In the last four games, Seattle has only managed four goals overall. On the lower end of the goal scoring spectrum this year (143), but have essentially let up to 150.
Yesterday, David Pastrnak did not skate. Montgomery, who played 23 minutes in Tuesday’s game, claimed it was simply minor muscular pain and that it was maintenance.
I’ll see you tonight!
