Last away game until March 1st.

I am finally feeling good about the lines for once this season.

You still have guys playing in spots they probably shouldn’t be, but the lines look like they have chemistry.

I really like Poitras and Frederic together. They seem to always play well together. Makes me want them to extend Frederic and then add a goal scorer to the line and let them stay together long term.

Sacco and coaches two things I like

Pastrnak plays basically entire PP but they have controlled his energy/skating on the shift so he’s not retrieving pucks but covers about 60 feet of ice all in offensive side

Zacha & Lindholm as a duo allow Poitras to come out with Geekie & Pastrnak immediately following the PK

Bruins need to establish a positive identity on the road.
Big game tonight.
