In addition to his helper on Nosek's goal, Foligno also delivered a nifty feed on Krejci's second goal - a power-play marker - of the third period. After collecting Taylor Hall's dish from the right-wing circle, Foligno quickly spun and zipped a no-look pass to Krejci across the slot. Krejci then ripped a one-timer by Hart to extend the B's lead to three goals.
"He made a great play," said Krejci, who snapped a nine-game stretch without a goal. "He's been in the league a long time. I've seen him make those plays before. He's a good player. The NHL is all about confidence and he has it right now. Good for him."
Foligno's second assist of the night was the 300th of his career, a milestone that he met with a bit of self-deprecation.
"Yes, [I can remember] everyone one of them," Foligno said with a smirk. "Sitting next to Krech and [Patrice Bergeron] and [Brad Marchand], and [David Pastrnak], they've all got a lot."
Foligno added that he believes Montgomery's system makes it easy to anticipate where his teammates are going to be, which was a key part to both of his assists on Thursday night.
"I think what's so great about Monty's system is, it's so fast but predictable," said Foligno. "I think we really enjoy playing and it's tailored to a lot of the guys in the room and we feel that when we are playing, we know where guys are supposed to be.
"You can kind of have that sixth sense. It's dangerous because we are playing with so much speed, too, so when the guys are in the right spots, it makes it really hard on other teams and I think you're seeing that right now."
