Two nights after dropping a 2-1 shootout to the New York Islanders, the Boston Bruins bounced back with a much-needed victory Thursday night over the New York Rangers, 4-0, at the TD Garden.

It was a dominant effort from the Bruins for most of the game in improving to 4-1 on the season against the Rangers. Here are some takeaways, and stars of the game for the Black and Gold, who won their 14th game of the season.

Some takeaways from the Bruins victory.

  • Zach Senyshyn made his season debut for the Bruins and although he didn’t score, he was noticeable in the game. He showed just how fast of a skater he was in the opening period when he beat two Rangers defensemen back to avoid icings. He also had three 2-on-1 beaks with Sean Kuraly. Although they failed to score on each one, how many 2-on-1’s do teams get in one game, never mind three?
  • Brad Marchand came into the game leading the Bruins with 12 goals, but Thursday night, his playmaking ability was on full display. He assisted on the first three Boston goals. The first one he laid a nice pass to David Pastrnak at the blueline, whose blast beat Rangers goalie Alexander Georgiev. Later in the period, he made two nice moves in the New York end with the B’s shorthanded and fed Patrice Bergeron in the slot and the captain buried it for a 2-0 lead. Marchand also assisted in the second period on David Krejci’s power play goal.
  • Speaking of Krejci, the veteran second-line center finally found the back of the net in 2021. Coming into the game, he had 11 assists in 19 games, but he was able to break through with a power play goal 3:31 into the middle frame for a 3-0 lead.
