"I'm really pleased with (Thursday night's) win," Bruins head coach Jim Montgomery told reporters, as seen on NESN's postgame coverage. "A team that was 8-1-1 and has been playing really well."
"I thought in the first period we executed really well compliments of odd-man rushes and made some high-end plays led by our captain (Brad Marchand) and then our elite goal scorer (David Pastrnak)," Montgomery said.
"Definitely something that we talked about," Marchand said, as seen on NESN's postgame coverage. "They're such a really good forechecking team. They usually don't usually give up much and always a very tough game in here."
"I think the biggest thing was winning board battles" Marchand explained. "A lot of them came from guys getting a puck off a wall in a pinch and making a play under pressure."
