News, notes and quotes:
- Back to back games with goals for Jake DeBrusk. 2 tonight, he now has 27 on the season. The 6th career two-goal game for JD74.
- Torey Krug’s 46th assist is a new career high, same with David Krejci’s 52 apples.
- 37th of the season for David Pastrnak, who just keeps producing since coming back from injury.
- Nice to see Mojo get his 1st goal as a Bruin. I really like that 3rd line of Johansson-Coyle-Wagner with Sean Kuraly out. Mojo and Krejci collided in the 2nd and he went down the tunnel but he finished the game. *phew*
- 32 save performance from Tuukka Rask tonight.
- With his goal and assist, Brad Marchand now has 100 points on the season. The first time since Jumbo Joe Thornton did it in 2003. Marchand was also voted the NHL’s 3rd star of the month today. 9G, 14A, 23 points in 15 games in the month of March.

We’ve got more shirts cooking too.. be on the look out.
B’s are back in action on Thursday night as Charlie Coyle makes his return to Minnesota to face the Wild. Honestly, I put Brandon Carlo in bubble wrap and don’t let him play the last 2 games of the season. But actually.
It was a great night to win a hockey game, and a great night for Marchand to hit 100.
Season starts now..
