The Bruins honored former Bruin and hockey Hall of Famer Milt Schmidt before the game and raised his #15 to the rafters.

Tim Thomas continued his strong play in net this season last night against the Toronto Maple Leafs by shutting them out 2-0. Thomas stopped all 20 shots that he faced. Thomas is now 5-0-0, with a .981 save percentage, and a 0.60 GAA, with two shutouts this season so far.

Patrice Bergeron scored the first goal, the eventual game winner, his first of the season which came on the power play at the end of the first period. Rookie Tyler Seguin scored his second goal of the season in the second period. Nathan Horton was held pointless for the first time this season. Props to Horton for taking on Dion Phaneuf in not much of a fight but showing everyone he won't back down. Former Bruin Phil Kessel was a -1 with 6 shots on goal.

The Bruins next game is on Saturday at Ottawa. It's a 7pm EST game. The Senators are on a 2-game winning streak.
