Presented here are the explanations for the Bruins' recent successes
Following their initial season setback, marked by three successive losses in November, the Boston Bruins have navigated through challenges and assembled a streak of three wins.
Over the weekend, triumphs in back-to-back matches against the Toronto Maple Leafs and Columbus Blue Jackets resulted not only in the Bruins securing four available points but also in their resurgence of winning momentum during games.
Below are three factors contributing to the Bruins' recent resurgence:
Jim Montgomery, as usual, demonstrates a willingness to implement changes.
Bruins coach Jim Montgomery recognized the necessity for a transformation within his team to break away from their struggle.
The bottom line is that Montgomery comprehends his team's dynamics. He anticipates top-notch performances from his players and demonstrates it through strategies such as benching, limited ice time, or promotions within the lineup.
Brad Marchand's influence resonates both on and off the scorecard.
In a remarkable turn, Marchand exploded with four goals across two games, including an overtime clincher and a natural hat trick in the third period, breaking an eight-game scoreless streak. While the Bruins' decline wasn't directly linked to Marchand's point drought, his recent surge in productivity has injected renewed energy into the team.
Charlie McAvoy is excelling in his performance.
After serving a four-game suspension in early November and receiving encouragement from Montgomery to embrace a more offensive approach, McAvoy has showcased some of his most exceptional hockey of the season. In the recent game against Columbus, the defenseman contributed two assists and has tallied four points in the last four games.
On Thursday evening, the Bruins will host the Sabres for their second meeting of the season in Boston. The game is set to begin at 7 p.m. Eastern Time at TD Garden.
