Last night the Bruins beat the New Jersey Devils 4-1 with all of the goals by both teams coming in the second period. The Devils looked pretty bad in their own zone getting outworked and outplayed by the Bruins in the second and third periods. Tim Thomas was strong in net once again making 31 saves on 32 shots against him.
Rookie Jordan Caron, Michael Ryder, Shawn Thornton all scored their first goal of the season. Caron's goal was his first NHL goal. Nice to get your first NHL goal against future Hall of Famer Martin Brodeur. Ryder's goal was set up beautifully by rookie Tyler Seguin with a sweet pass and Ryder buried it with a quick hard wrist shot. That would be Seguin's first NHL assist of his career. Milan Lucic scored the fourth goal for the Bruins, his second goal of the season.
Blake Wheeler had a bad game, getting two lazy hooking penalties and he had 0 shots on net. Thomas improves his record to 2-0-0 with a .984 save percentage and a 0.50 GAA.
The Bruins are now 2-1-0 with 4 points in 3 games, behind Toronto (8 points in 4 games) and Montreal (7 points in 5 games) in the division.The Bruins next game is on Tuesday at the Washington Capitals, the first game of a home-and-home series, with the second game at Boston (home opener) on Thursday. Tuesday's game is on Versus at 7:30pm EST.
