Bruins Easily Beat Panthers 4-1

(Bruins Defensemen Zdeno Chara celebrating after scoring a highlight reel goal)

At 11-2-2 the Bruins are off to there best start in 36 years, as they sweep the Florida trip and have now won 3 in a row. Milan Lucic started off the scoring with a nice wrist shot after the faceoff win to beat Panther's goalie Jacob Markstrom. 6 minutes later Zdeno Chara span through the Panthers "D" and went backhand and roofed it on Markstrom. Sloppy defense on the Panthers part. Panthers got it within one after Kobecky scored. Early in the 3rd Chris Kelly got a nice tip in on the powerplay. Paille ended it with a shorthanded empty netter. Lets look at the stats:

Tuuka Rask: 34 out of 35 shots saved
Milan Lucic: 1 goal
Zdeno Chara: 1 goal
Chris Kelly: 1 goal
Daniel Paille: Empty net goal

Player of the Game: Tuuka Rask

So overall great performance by the Bruins, who are now in 2nd place in the division 2 points behind the Habs but have 3 games in had. Next up Islanders. Should be another easy win.
