3 takeaways from the Bruins' thrilling shootout win over the Islanders (Boston.com)

Boston put on a strong effort in its first game back from its Western Conference road trip to improve to 23-4-1 this season. Read more on Boston.com.

That freedom provided Forbort with another offensive opportunity following DeBrusk’s first goal, where he drove to the net against Josh Bailey for a potential tip. But the first-year bench boss also allows freedom for his stay-at-home defenseman to complement the attack. Given the history start, a handful of Bruins will find themselves in early-season discussions for individual hardware. Every NHL team east of the Mississippi will need time to readjust to their home confines whenever they travel for a multi-game trip on the other side of the U.S. Boston’s penalty kill returned to form after Forbort came back from an upper-body ailment a few weeks back. The Bruins didn’t have the luxury of an extra day off following their 3-1 victory in Vegas on Sunday. Once again, Ullmark provided that calm presence between the pipes. But it isn’t just the numbers that stand out. Indeed, the Swede continued his hot hand in his second straight start. Linus Ullmark remained sharp in net, stopping 23 Isles shots, and improved to an eye-opening 17-1 on the season. Mat Barzal gave the Isles the advantage in the ensuing chance. The B’s earned some bounces on DeBrusk’s pair and Derek Forbort’s second-period shorthanded marker.

The Bruins began their homestand on a high note after being out west their last three games and minimal time to get off mountain time.

“I think it was kind of like a three-on-three, so I wasn’t really too much ready to get up,” Forbort told reporters. “We were sluggish in the first, probably our worst period of the year, and (it was) expected,” Montgomery told reporters after the game.

Bruins out to extend home dominance against Kings (Yardbarker)

After three games in seven days out west and a day of cross-country travel, the Boston Bruins were far from surprised with a sluggish start Tuesday night.

On top of that, the Oilers were on the receiving end of a questionable Cale Makar goal last year in the playoffs that was allowed to stand. A review of the goal was initiated by the NHL’s situation room and it was called off. Mariners: At the start of the offseason, the Mariners expressed some willingness to pursue a shortstop with an eye toward kicking him over to second base in deference to J.P. Diamondbacks: The D-Backs could use a shortstop and were loosely linked to Bogaerts earlier in the offseason. That would make it the most valuable James jersey to ever hit auction and one of the most valuable jerseys of all time.

I’m happy that you were able to talk about the Ottawa Senators earlier on in the segment because, to me, they’ve been a team that is one that should probably be a lot closer to the playoffs than they are just based on their goals for and goals against. Plenty needs to happen before the Lions are anointed the winner of the trade that helped the Rams win a Super Bowl. That's led some to question if the Lions are on track to be the winner of the Stafford trade.

Zdeno Chara Helped Create Winning Culture During 14 Seasons ... (NESN.com)

Zdeno Chara had one thing in mind when he signed with the Boston Bruins in 2006: Creating a winning culture.

After all, it’s clear the culture and the impact [still resonates with the current roster](https://nesn.com/2022/10/nick-foligno-recalls-playing-with-against-bruins-legend-zdeno-chara/) and he only would be able to add to that if he were part of the team again.

[to replace Chara](https://nesn.com/2022/02/bobby-orr-congratulates-zdeno-chara-for-remarkable-achievement/), both in terms on size, leadership and physicality, was no easy task. After all, he came to Boston with the idea of giving the team an identity. Chara never had a “me first” mentality, but rather a “team first” one, that really stuck with his current and former teammates. Chara and the Bruins would go back to the Cup Final two more times — 2013 and 2019 — and lose both to the Chicago Blackhawks and St. Chara was more than just the captain, he [they finished 35-41-6](https://records.nhl.com/franchises/boston-bruins/season-by-season-record) and missed the playoffs. Taking away their passing lanes and positioning their sticks worked, and the Bruins ended up winning the Stanley Cup in enemy territory in Game 7. Tim Thomas had to stop several breakaways, so Chara and company readjusted and prevented the Canucks from getting to the net.
