Yesterday the Bruins crushed the Hurricanes 7-1 with a 5 point (4 goals 1 assist) showing from topline centre Patrice Bergeron. Not to be left out his LW Brad Marchand had his highest ever points night with 4 assists. RW David Pastarnak was the slacker of that line, only producing 3 points via a goal and 2 assists.
Possible line-up
Marchand - Bergeron - Pasternak
DeBrusk - Krejci - Spooner
Heinen - Nash - Backes
Schaller - Kuraly - Acciari
Chara - McAvoy
Krug - Carlo
Grzelcyk - Miller

The last time the Pens played (Friday night) they too put on a great performance, most notably from the Captain who was involved in all the action and Daniel Sprong, who produced a career high 3 points.
Can this finally be the kickstart we have been waiting for? It has been over a month since the Pens have registered back-to-back wins (home & away against Buffalo).
We may have a few players back from injury tonight. Dumolin (concussion) and Ruhwedel (upper body) are game-time decisions.
