BOSTON - The Bruins look to grab their fifth consecutive win on Saturday night as they prepare for the first of two games in D.C against the Washington Capitals. After scoring 4 goals in their first three games of the 2021 season, the Black & Gold's offense has returned with vengeance, netting 18 goals in their last 4 matchups.
"We got off to a slow start. Not necessarily generating, but finishing chances…we're going to score goals. How much? Is it going to be enough on every night? There are probably nights they won't go in so easy," Head Coach Bruce Cassidy said. "We do feel we have more depth in our lineup more than we did last year in terms of offense and hopefully that translates for us."
