Bruins' Julien matches franchise record in win vs. Blackhawks

It was a night of milestones for the Bruins and an important two points as they try to finish out the season in strong playoff contention.

Rask was flawless in the third period, when Chicago outshot Boston 11-2.

It would be hard to argue against Claude Julien as the greatest coach in Bruins history, and it's about to get even harder.

The Bruins extended their lead at 2:31 of the period, six seconds after Andrew Ladd accidentally high-sticked Jimmy Hayes.

The Bruins continue their toughest stretch of the season against the Washington Capitals, the NHL's points leader, on Saturday, before heading out on the road for six of the next eight games. Chicago (40-21-5) maintained a two-point lead in the Central.

Sanders Camp Feels the Sting After Super Tuesday
Cleophace Mukeba, 49, a Congolese refugee who has been living in Burlington for 10 years, said he supported Sanders as well. The rules push them toward consolidation, but they are too far apart ideologically and their voter bases are too distinct.

The Bruins scored at the start and end of the first period, sandwiching a Blackhawks goal to take a 2-1 lead.

Bergeron put the Bruins on the board 1:18 into the game, recovering behind the goal and turning to whip a shot past Chicago's Niklas Hjalmarsson for his 25th of the season. "They were great", Acciari said of his new linemates, "they told me just to play my game". "It was a big game for us to challenge ourselves and we took 20 minutes at a time".

"I don't know if you feel pressure, but you'd like to contribute and, you know, it's a good group of guys, a really talented group, so for me it makes it easier".

The Bruins then travel to Florida to play the surprising Florida Panthers who are third in the conference and first in the division.

Marchand regained the lead for the Bruins with 22 seconds to go in the first period, firing a sizzling wrister from the left wing circle to beat Darling high glove side. That continued against Chicago, in a game in which they needed to be on point, given the Blackhawks' explosiveness. "There were a lot of reasons to get excited about this game tonight and it showed in our play". "We couldn't get the second chances and we couldn't sustain our puck possession".

Krejci's puck patience paid off at 15:24 when he took the puck from Duncan Keith and turned it up ice, resulting in a combination play with John-Michael Liles and Eriksson, who scored to make it 4-1.

Both the B's power play and penalty kill finished the night with 1-for-2 marks.

Patrice Bergeron has won at least 10 faceoffs in each of his last 41 games (disregards games missed), matching Ryan O'Reilly (11/14/2015 - 2/14/2016) for the longest such streak by any skater since Adam Oates produced a 57-game stretch between 11/15/2001 and 3/30/2002.

The linemate switch didn't slow down Brad Marchand, as the still-streaking winger ended a two-game scoring "slump" with his 33rd goal of the season in the first period. D Christian Ehrhoff, also a deadline acquisition, picked up his first assist for the Blackhawks on C Jonathan Toews's first-period goal.... RW Dale Weise made his Blackhawks debut after being acquired from Montreal along with RW Tomas Fleischmann, who debuted in Chicago's 3-2 victory over Washington on Sunday. "Whether it was forechecking and getting on them quick or coming back quickly and taking away their time and space, I thought our checking game was probably one of the best so far".

After the game, the Blackhawks captain spoke on the kind of game the Bruins played against them.
