That he did. With Boston clinging to a 2-1 lead midway through the second period, Grzelcyk struck for his first. Following a David Krejci faceoff win back to Kevan Miller at the right point, Miller found DeBrusk (two assists) along the half wall. DeBrusk then fed Krejci (goal, assist) in the slot, where the pivot whiffed on his one-timer attempt.
The puck skittered to Grzelcyk, who ripped a wrister from the bottom of the left circle off Matt Murray's glove and into the net for a 3-1 Bruins advantage at 10:31 of the middle frame.
"Right before, JD told me to go backdoor, so I was heading that way and Krech came over right after actually and said 'Well, don't go down all the way. Wait in the slot,'" said Grzelcyk. "Just kind of fate happened and he fanned on the puck and it landed right on my tape. Credit those guys for putting me in the right direction."
The 2012 third-round pick became the seventh Bruin to tally his first career goal this season, joining Anders Bjork, Peter Cehlarik, DeBrusk, Danton Heinen, Sean Kuraly, and Charlie McAvoy.
