Dmitry Orlov Has the Potential to Create Bruins History Today
Since joining the Boston Bruins at the Trade Deadline, Dmitry Orlov has proven to be a valuable asset to the team. His unexpected offensive contributions have been a pleasant surprise.
Orlov has managed to notch at least one point in each of the first three games of the Bruins' opening-round series against the Florida Panthers.
If he can maintain this momentum and score another point in game four, he'll make franchise history.
On the Verge of Setting a New Record
According to NHL Public Relations:
Dmitry Orlov can become the 10th player - and first defenseman - in Bruins history to record a point in each of his first four playoff games with the club. The last Boston skater to do so was Michael Ryder (5 GP in 2009).
The fact that no defenseman has achieved this impressive milestone in the team's 98-year history is remarkable.
This is especially surprising given the legendary defensemen who have graced the Bruins' blueline, such as Bobby Orr, Ray Bourque, and Zdeno Chara.
At 31 years old, Orlov has already tallied four assists in three games while logging an average of 21:15 of ice time per game.
As read on Bruins Insider - Orlov Can Make Bruins Franchise History in Game 4.
