Boston Bruins: 3 takeaways from dominant 6-1 win over Flyers

2. The Boston Bruins’ powerplay was a huge factor in last night’s win.

The Bruins got their first powerplay in the first half of the first period. They took little time to score as Bergeron buried a rebound. This would be the trend of the game as Boston would go three for four on the powerplay.

These three goals would account for half of the Black and Gold’s goals. Two for these goals would come in the third period, really putting a dagger in the Flyers’ chances of coming back.

What’s really impressive about Boston scoring three powerplay goals last night was the fact that they were more shorthanded than they were in the first four games.

Not only were they missing David Pastrnak, they were also missing their first unit quarterback Matt Grzelcyk, as he missed last night with a lower-body injury that he suffered in the first game against Philly.

The fact that the Black and Gold were able to score six goals, including three on the powerplay, shows me they have enough scoring depth, talent, and general depth to make the playoffs and contend for the cup this season.
