The Boston Bruins scored ten goals in two games over the weekend, largely because the top line continues to be unstoppable. Did any other lines step up their games?

The Boston Bruins finished off the weekend with an impressive 7-4 win over the New York Rangers. The victory comes off the second night of a back to back; Boston defeated St. Louis 3-0 on Saturday.

The big takeaway from the win in New York was the offense. The Bruins exploded for six goals before scoring number seven in the empty net.

The offense wasn’t half-bad against the Blues either. Boston scored three goals against a strong Blues defense.

The Bruins got contributions from secondary scorers, but once again the first line led the way offensively.

Marchand-Bergeron-Pastrnak: A+

The trio of Patrice Bergeron, Brad Marchand, and David Pastrnak continues to be the best in hockey. All three players were on full display this weekend.

The top line had a strong game against the Blues, but it wasn’t too spectacular. Pastrnak scored the first goal against St. Louis, and this proved to be the game winner. Marchand picked up an assist.

In New York, however, the line was unstoppable, as Pastrnak and Marchand each had five point nights. Pastrnak had five assists, while Marchand had two goals and three assists.

Not to be undone, Bergeron had his first hat trick of the season against New York.

Bergeron, Marchand, and Pastrnak are on track for some crazy seasons, but we’ll see if they can keep up the pace.

Right now, all three deserve nothing short of an A+ grade for their performances this weekend.
