Boston Bruins

Clifton scored the first goal of the game and added and an assist, part of a 2-4—6 contribution the Bruins blueliners in the win over the Panthers.

Tonight was the best game he’s had in a while and I’m happy for him.” After the game, Montgomery was back to praising Clifton, and noted he wished people would stop using the term “Cliffy Hockey” as a pejorative. He also happens to dish some of the best hits the backliners can muster, right there with Charlie McAvoy on the pop chart. He sometimes gets out over his skis and attacks a little too much, which is to say he can stray from the game plan boilerplate. It officially made Clifton the first member of the Black and Gold called out by the coach this season. Button up the cardigan and put 2 points in the win column. Pulled out of the action because Montgomery didn’t like his game, Clifton logged a season-low 11:02 in ice time and TV cameos of the bench had “Cliffy” looking lonelier than the last Mass Pike toll collector to pack up at the booth. And again, it’s a 25-4-2 neighborhood, first place in the Original 32. Clifton led off the scoring with his third goal of the season. As the night played out, Hampus Lindholm added a pair of assists, and Clifton and Carlo chipped in with one apiece. the Panthers, who had a very charitable Spencer Knight in net. The guys on D have been decent, fine, mostly OK, hardly worth the energy it would take for anyone to register a complaint.

Connor Clifton, Brandon Carlo, Charlie Coyle and David Pastrnak paced the Bruins to a 4-0 cushion within a 10:37 timeframe between the first and second periods.

Tonight was the best game in a while, and I’m happy for him.” And Montgomery admitted that he doesn’t like the term either. “The ‘Cliffy Hockey’ that I see knows very much how the team is playing and is always supporting the structure of the play. “He’s had a lot of opportunities, and it was great to see him get rewarded on a great pass by Brad Marchand.” With a 4-0 lead intact, the Bruins appeared to return to form from their October and November pace. Even in Montgomery’s up-tempo system, the Bruins rely more on Carlo’s defensive hand during 5v5 and penalty kill situations. But like Montgomery, Carlo felt he’d find his name on the scoresheet. Carlo was the lone holdover of that bunch. But with the leadership group that we have, they’re saying the right things on the bench,” Montgomery said. Entering Monday, all but one of their regulars from the roster had scored at least one goal. But they found themselves in a dogfight against their Atlantic Division foes some six-plus minutes after Pastrnak notched his 21st of the season on a power play marker. A pair of net-front goals from Sam Reinhart and Carter Verhaeghe and an Eric Staal one-timer cut Boston’s lead to 4-3 within a 5:20 span.

The Boston Bruins have not lacked for goal-scoring this season while ranking first or second pretty much all season among the league's top offensive groups.

“I feel like there’s been a lot of opportunities in the offensive zone for all of us defensemen,” said Carlo, who last scored a goal April 5 last season in a loss to the Detroit Red Wings. “It’s a matter of putting it in the back of the net, but I think with our transition game and things like that, you’ve seen some very good spurts. Carlo now has a goal and six points in 27 games while averaging 18:35 of ice time this season, but also boasts a strong plus-15 that’s good for fourth on the team while focusing on killing plays and killing off penalties. The lamp-lighter also gives every regular in a Boston Bruins uniform a goal this season as they continue to enjoy lineup depth like they haven’t before in previous recent seasons. It was Carlo’s first goal in 44 games dating back to last season and an encouraging sign that some of the things that the B’s coaching staff has been preaching is bringing just a little bit more out of the 6-foot-5 defenseman. “And he’s had a lot of opportunities and it was great to see him get rewarded…great pass by Brad Marchand.”

Patrice Bergeron scored a pair of third-period insurance goals after Boston almost blew a 4-0 lead.

Paul Maurice and the Florida Panthers often look to the expected goal numbers for validation of the way they’re playing so far in the first half of the 2022-23 NHL season. The lack of winning streaks with close to half the season done is jarring. The Panthers have also only won consecutive games once in the last month and only have three winning streaks of any kind this season.
