It's been good for the other guys in the room to have that opportunity. It's a good problem to have in that regard. - Marchand also issued a ringing endorsement of his new cereal, March Munch, which was unveiled on Wednesday. "They're face-lickin' good," Marchand said with a smirk. "That's one of those things where growing up, you'd see different athletes with it with the cereal. "I think we both understand what this game means and how important the points are," said Marchand. "They're just a competitive team. I'm a huge, huge fan of cinnamon toast crunch, had it in the Stanley Cup when I had the Cup. My kids love it…so, it was just something that fit and something I was extremely excited about that." "They've been good as a pair. "It was a bit of a curveball. Every game seems to ramp up a little bit more this time of year. Bergeron, who returned to practice in full on Wednesday, did not receive clearance from doctors to get back into game action and will now eye Saturday's matinee against the New York Islanders as his next chance to return. But doctors felt otherwise, so we'll look at Saturday now," said Cassidy. "It's business as usual once the puck drops, an opportunity for someone else." That's the way we look at it.
Hampus Lindholm's debut with the Bruins couldn't have gone much better. Boston's new defenseman played a key role in a dramatic and playoff-like victory ...
It was good to get the first game under my belt and get the win. I hope we can develop something here and I can make him a better player, and he's obviously going to make me a better player. "We have some really good defensemen in our squad. I feel like that plays to my strength. That's why you play the game," Lindholm said after the victory. I love that feeling -- a little butterflies and a little nervous getting out there.

“It’s been good for the other guys in the room to have the opportunity,” Cassidy said. It’s not an easy decision in terms of merit, to be honest with you. “That’s the positive or the flip side of it. “I think Jack has been good in terms of his 200-foot game,” Cassidy said.

Boston Bruins winger David Pastrnak scored his 12th career hat trick and continued a 2022 surge by leading the B's to a 3-2 win.
It took perfect plays for the Boston Bruins to get pucks past Andrei Vasilevskiy on a night when he was really good, and that’s exactly what they executed on each of the three Boston Bruins goals in a playoff-like win. Haula finished with three assists and a plus-3 in 14:46 of ice time to go along with two shot attempts, one hit, two takeaways and 10-of-16 faceoff wins for the center in one of his best games as a member of the Boston Bruins. Haula threw a long stretch pass banked off the boards to free up Pastrnak for a breakaway on the first goal and then dished a backhanded, no-look pass that fooled Andrei Vasilevskiy a bit on the second goal for a surprise short-side backhander and then Haula made a great play to keep the puck inside the blue line before the puck eventually found an open Pastrnak after it went through Taylor Hall grinding in front of the net.
