The Boston Bruins rallied for a comeback win and took down their longtime division rival on Saturday night.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Three goal scorers factored in for the black and gold, all coming in the game\u2019s final 40 minutes. The game was won in the final six minutes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Elsewhere in the National, trade talks have continued as the Olympic break approaches in less than two weeks. However, not every team wants to pay a player to take a month-long vacation. The Rangers, Blues, and Flames are all in trade rumors; those teams are in the seller\u2019s market. One team\u2019s prices are high, though. Also, one team is backpedaling on their trade talks, and due to injuries, might not make a move; therefore, taking one of the biggest names off the trade board.<\/p>\n
Also in extension talk, a Bruins prospect has earned an NHL extension after a historic start. Both sides are working on securing the 27-year-old\u2019s services. Additionally, a longtime legend is waiting on a decision from his team as to whether or not he will be extended.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Happy Sunday; the Bruins won, the Patriots are on, and snow is falling. Go Pats, and stay safe and warm. Here\u2019s today\u2019s Daily Bean.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Boston Bruins<\/p>\n
The Boston Bruins picked up their 30th win of the season<\/a> last night (30-20-2) and took down their rival Montreal Canadiens (28-17-7). It was a gutsy effort, and the Bruins rallied after a slow first period. In the third period, the B\u2019s scored two in 12 seconds to take the lead.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Morgan Geekie scored twice, both coming on the power play<\/a>. Viktor Arvidsson tallied another power play goal; the Bruins only had four power play attempts on Saturday night. Since January 1, the Bruins have the league\u2019s best power play (38.7%), but the 31st-ranked penalty kill (63.6%).\u00a0<\/p>\n That Bruins\u2019 power play has really been clicking<\/a>.<\/p>\n NHL News & National Hockey Now<\/p>\n Montreal Hockey Now<\/a>: For the other side of coverage from last night, check out Marc Dumont\u2019s work. For the Canadiens, this rivalry game was a showing of questionable goaltending and indiscipline.\u00a0<\/p>\n Sportsnet Saturday Headlines<\/a>: Artemi Panarin<\/a> has been in trade talks recently; the Rangers are not giving him a contract extension. The price starts at a first-rounder, a prospect, and a conditional third-rounder \u2013 that\u2019s what the Islanders got<\/a> for Brock Nelson<\/a> last year. Panarin controls where he goes; he\u2019s on a no-move clause and an expiring contract. Anaheim, Los Angeles, and Washington are in on Panarin.<\/p>\n Sportsnet Saturday Headlines<\/a>: Friedman reported that business around the Calgary Flames is \u201cslow\u201d following the Rasmus Andersson<\/a> trade<\/a>. He added, \u201cI just think that Anderson is the big one they had to do, and things have just quieted down for a little bit.\u201d<\/p>\n The St. Louis Blues are talking to teams, but the \u201cprices are high,\u201d per Friedman. They are looking at the Andersson trade for their own Justin Faulk<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n Friedman added that some teams want to make trades before the break, while others have no interest.\u00a0<\/p>\n New Jersey Hockey Now<\/a>: With the injury to Luke Hughes<\/a> and, conversely, Dougie Hamilton<\/a>\u2019s jump in play, the Devils are not looking to move the 32-year-old defenseman. Elliotte Friedman doubled down on that during Sportsnet\u2019s Saturday Headlines segment on Saturday. He has seven assists, and the Devils are 5-1-0 since he was a healthy scratch.\u00a0<\/p>\n Pittsburgh Hockey Now<\/a>: Evgeni Malkin<\/a> is back again! After stealing the show on Thursday, saying he wants one more year in Pittsburgh, the ball is in Kyle Dubas\u2019s court. A new contract is not yet on the table, and if Dubas has made a decision, Malkin is not in the know.\u00a0<\/p>\n Before the season, the two sides wanted to feel out the season and gain a clear understanding over the Olympic break. Malkin has posted 39 points in 35 games; he has not been a point-per-game player since the 2022-23 season.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Fourth Period<\/a>: One of the NHL\u2019s best stories this year has been Brandon Bussi<\/a>. The Providence Bruins standout has emerged as an NHL star. Through 22 games with Carolina, he has a 18-3-1 record with a 2.20 goals against average and a .906 save percentage. Now, the 27-year-old goaltender and the Hurricanes are in negotiations on a contract extension, per David Pagnotta.\u00a0<\/p>\n TSN<\/a>: The Sabres and Hurricanes completed a minor-league swap on Saturday. The Sabres acquired 31-year-old New Hampshire-native Gavin Bayreuther<\/a>. Carolina acquired 22-year-old forward Viktor Neuchev<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Boston Bruins rallied for a comeback win and took down their longtime division rival on Saturday night.\u00a0…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":21418,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5099],"tags":[154,95,5132,19349,530,58,5,21,4,4212],"class_list":{"0":"post-427936","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-boston-bruins","8":"tag-boston","9":"tag-boston-bruins","10":"tag-bostonbruins","11":"tag-brandon-bussi","12":"tag-bruins","13":"tag-featured","14":"tag-hockey","15":"tag-montreal-canadiens","16":"tag-nhl","17":"tag-trade-rumors"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nhl\/115957825818340306","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/427936","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=427936"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/427936\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/21418"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=427936"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=427936"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=427936"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
