The Atlanta Thrashers came out flying in the first period yesterday against the Bruins and put the Bruins down 3-0 after the first period. The game eventually ended 4-1 as the Bruins couldn't make a comeback. The Bruins picked up their play in the second period after Matt Hunwick got into a fight with Evander Kane, the guy who KO'd Matt Cooke last season. Kane definitely won the fight, as he gave Hunwick a cut above his left eye, but it was good to see Hunwick do this and he threw some good punches himself. Shawn Thornton also had a good fight with Eric Boulton. Also in the second period, Blake Wheeler scored the only Bruin goal, his 5th goal of the season.
Tuukka Rask again gets no support and gets the loss in this one, making 22 saves on 26 shots. Rask is now 1-6-1, with a 2.59 GAA, and a .926 save percentage.
This was rookie Jamie Arniel's first NHL game. He played good, he had one real good scoring chance that Pavelec saved. Today Arniel was sent back to Providence (AHL).
The Bruins led the game in shots 41-26. The Thrashers were better in faceoffs, going 32-29.
The Bruins next game is on Wednesday at the Philadelphia Flyers. It will be the first meeting between the Bruins and Flyers since the Bruins choking in last years playoffs.
