“He made a couple of plays it was like, ‘Wow” — in the D zone and the offensive zone.” “It’s been the difference for most of the year,” Montgomery said of Boston’s depth. But his talents were on full display down the other end of the ice. Sometimes the best defense is a result of not spending time in the D-zone at all. But even with few shifts starting in favorable ice, the Bruins still posted a 12-6 advantage in scoring chances whenever Orlov was out skating. Even though Orlov was on the ice for McDavid’s first goal just 2:17 after puck drop, there wasn’t much that the 31-year-old blueliner could have done.

The Boston Bruins won their seventh straight game Monday night against the Edmonton Oilers, but it by no means was easy.

Only Wayne Gretzky and Jari Kurri have hit the mark faster in Oilers' history.

"Oh man, I was so pumped for him," said Swayman. Zacha made a diving effort at the net, which knocked the puck in behind Oilers goaltender Stuart Skinner. "I think that is part of a team effort by everyone," said Orlov. This was Foligno's 10th goal of the season.

The Edmonton Oilers may boast the best player in the game today, but the Boston Bruins have been the NHL's best team all season.

And it was McDavid who turned the puck over at the Bruin blue line to create a 2-on-1 for Nick Foligno and Charlie Coyle. McDavid announced his presence in the game just 2:17 in. After the Oilers survived the first two minutes, Oiler defenseman Vincent Desharnais slashed David Pastrnak to give the Bruins a 5-on-3 with 2:26 left in regulation.

Connor Clifton sat out Saturday's game in Vancouver and Matt Grzelcyk drew out for Monday's game in Edmonton.

In their first three games on this trip, the Bruins piled up a lead-time advantage of 84:14 to 12:26. Tomas Nosek, back for only his second game since a prolonged stay on the injured list, knotted it at 2:30 of the first … In Edmonton, where Orlov picked up two assists, he was on the left side with McAvoy. 8 in the league at 23.3 percent. In Washington, Orlov typically had Alexander Ovechkin back there with him, because Ovechkin typically plays the full two-minute advantage. “I told the team we didn’t get our game management — we were excellent five on five — but that was my fault. Orlov, a left shot who is equally comfortable playing the left or right side, was on the right of the No. To make matters worse, the Oilers landed two good shots on net while two men short, with the Bruins nursing a one-goal lead. Instead, prior to Tuesday’s game he carved himself a piece of the blame pie. He debuted on the right side with Forbort in Vancouver. That left Derek Forbort (left) and Clifton (right) as the No. Carlo, 26, sat out only his fifth game this season, his first since the Bruins acquired Dmitry Orlov and Garnet Hathaway last Thursday from the Capitals.

Dmitry Orlov was a force in the first 20 minutes of Boston's game against the Flames on Tuesday. Orlov scored two goals in the opening frame.

And with nearly half the game still left to play, he has plenty of time to become the first B’s D-man to record a hat trick since Zdeno Chara on Jan. Had it not been for Linus Ullmark or Orlov, things could have gone off the rails in short order at the Saddledome. Orlov is the first Bruins defenseman to score two goals in one game this season. Orlov’s two-goal outburst came at a critical time for his new team. The B’s top deadline pickup was not finished with his offensive salvo against Vladar.

The 31-year-old had two assists in Monday's win over the Edmonton Oilers. The Bruins' newly-acquired defenseman scored his first two goals with the team during Tuesday night's game in Calgary.

Bruins defenseman Dmitry Orlov helped get Boston on the board quickly Tuesday night, scoring twice in the first period against the Flames.

Ahead after the first period, Boston seeks an eighth straight victory with a strong start against the Flames. 1, 2022, with the Washington Capitals. Orlov lead the B’s down the ice while carrying the puck and snipped it, finding an opening between two Flames defenders and over Daniel Vladar’s stick side at 4:47 for his first.

The Boston Bruins have a very good problem on their hands. There simply aren't enough roster spots for all of their defensemen.

Charlie McAvoy, Hampus Lindholm and Orlov each have a spot on the first, second and third pair of the Bruins lineup. In fact, it wouldn’t be surprising to see McAvoy, Lindholm or Orlov get a night or two off before the Stanley Cup Playoffs begin. That move added yet another defenseman to their lineup that is capable of serving on a top pair and essentially left three spots left four players to battle for on Boston’s d-corps.

The Bruins take on the Flames on the road. It's time to continue our NHL odds series with a Bruins-Flames prediction and pick.

In fact, the Flames are second in the NHL with a 5-on-5 56.9 CF%. Still taking the Bruins to win by at least two goals here. The Bruins, on the other hand, are ninth in the NHL with a 23.3 percent success rate on the man advantage. During that stretch, the Flames managed to go just 1-1-1, with their lone win coming against the lowly Arizona Coyotes (6-3) before a heartbreaking overtime 4-3 defeat at the hands of the Vegas Golden Knights in Sin City. There’s no assurance that Jacob Markstrom can be with the Flames this Tuesday after missing practice Monday to be with his partner who gave birth to their first child, but if he can go this Tuesday, look out. Calgary is looking to get back up after a 4-1 road loss to the Colorado Avalanche last Saturday to end a three-game road trip. In his most recent start, Ullmark allowed just a goal on 26 shots faced in a 3-1 win last Saturday on the road over the Vancouver Canucks. Just like last season, Calgary is a great team in terms of taking control of the puck. After striking out on all five chances on the power play in the win against Edmonton, the Bruins’ special teams can still look forward to having a big night offensively this Tuesday. Apart from that, he also carries a 1.86 GA/G and .938 SV% — both top marks in the league. The Bruins added two more points to their total by whipping the Edmonton Oilers on the road Monday night, 3-2. Will the Bruins keep their win streak alive?

The Boston Bruins earned yet another win Tuesday, stealing one on the road right out from under the Calgary Flames.

Flames center Blake Coleman was on the board, however, and he was given +380 odds to score. The Bruins will finally head back to Boston to open up a four-game homestand Thursday, starting with a tilt against the Buffalo Sabres. As a team, the Bruins turned the puck over in their own zone and played horrific defense in front of Ullmark for the majority of the night. You can watch the game, plus an hour of pregame coverage, The 31-year-old also assisted on Pavel Zacha’s power-play goal in the third period that tied the game. That was the case Tuesday, when Boston strolled into Calgary for its matchup with the Flames and played horribly.

Linus Ullmark set a Boston Bruins record for saves with 54 and the Bruins pulled out a 4-3 overtime win over the Calgary Flames.

Foligno has been a key cog in the bottom six this season, and this injury could increase the chances Boston Bruins general manager Don Sweeney adds more forward depth before the NHL trade deadline at noon on Friday. That was easily the best Bruins goalie performance this puck scribe has ever witnessed in 21 years on the job.

Dmitry Orlov scored his first two goals as a Bruin and Linus Ullmark made a career-high 54 saves.

By the 13:39 mark of the first period, he added two more to that total and stood only one more strike from being the first Bruins defenseman to connect for a hat trick since Zdeno Chara on Jan. Bergeron won a faceoff in the left circle, Jake DeBrusk provided the tap across the slot, and the 5-11/215 Orlov dropped the hammer. Instead, the Bruins entered the third with a 2-1 lead. He said that both Foligno and Taylor Hall (lower-body injury) would not be available for the game against Buffalo. The rock-hard winger was belted along the wall by Nikita Zadorov and was barely able to remain upright and make it across the ice under his own power before disappearing down the runway. From there, Calgary rolled up another 18 shots on Ullmark in the second, and a half-dozen were Grade A chances. The second period had the Bruins at their worst, most lethargic all season. In the previous 59 games, no Bruin defenseman had scored twice in a game. But then came Pavel Zacha’s goal, his second big strike in as many nights, to pull the Bruins even, 3-3, on a rare power-play strike with 5:53 left in regulation. They edged the Flames, first and foremost, because of Linus Ullmark (“The league’s best goalie all season,” per coach Jim Montgomery), who turned away 54 shots, establishing a franchise high in a regular-season game.

Orlov, who played his strong side against the Oilers, flipped back to his off side on the second duo next to Lindholm. Montgomery has the opportunity over the remaining 22 games to try different combinations, ease Orlov into the system and rest some of his defensemen. The truth of the matter is that having a surplus of blueliners is an oxymoron. Second, all he’s doing is producing points (five in the last two games) and winning (three 3-0-0 as a Bruin).

CALGARY, Alberta (AP) -- Charlie McAvoy scored at 4:55 of overtime to give the Boston a 4-3 win over the Calgary Flames on Tuesday night, extending the.

Zacha tied it on a power play with 5:53 left in regulation. “In a situation like that sometimes you’re thinking about the clock but he was able to make the extra pass there.” “At this point in the year, we’re scrambling for our lives.

Charlie McAvoy scored at 4:55 of overtime to give the Boston a 4-3 win over the Calgary Flames, extending the Bruins winning streak to eight games.

Boston had not generated fewer than 21 shots in a game or allowed more than 41 shots against — both of those marks fell with the Flames outshooting the Boston 57-20. With two Flames down on the ice, Orlov grabbed the loose puck and set up Zacha for an open net. Dan Vladar, who allowed two goals on five shots in the first period, was lifted in favor of Jacob Markstrom at the start of the second period. Included is an 11-1-2 mark against the Pacific Division. It was also a career high in saves for Ullmark, whose previous best was 44, accomplished twice. The Flames overcame a 2-0 first-period deficit and led 3-2 in the third period until Zacha scored a power-play goal at 14:07 to tie the game.
