The Boston Bruins have among the best strains in hockey, but when we’re being sincere, it’s the unsung heroes that actually have helped drive the bus this season. With the slew of accidents the Bruins have handled wire to wire, oftentimes it has been the underside six guys getting thrown into completely different roles, and time and time once more they’ve risen to the event. At instances, it’s been Chris Wagner, Sean Kuraly or Joakim Nordstrom which have stepped up, however the record is longer. Recently, and definitely on Saturday, it was Noel Acciari who made an enormous distinction. The B’s ahead, centering a fourth line with Nordstrom and David Backes on his wings, had a objective in Boston’s 7-Three pounding of

Celtics Notes: Boston Not About To Get Complacent After Snapping Losing Streak
If you include the All-Star break, it had been 16 days since the Boston Celtics last won a game. At times, it’s felt longer. But at long last, the C’s got back in the win column, beating the lowly Washington Wizards 107-96 on Friday at TD Garden. The victory snapped a four-game losing skid in which the Celtics truly just played some appalling basketball at times. And though they didn’t deliver their best brand against the Wizards, a nice third quarter offensively and fourth defensively got them the win they’ve so desperately been seeking. But let’s not mistake what the win was. It was a morale booster, and nothing more. The Wizar... NESN.com
Bruins Notes: Boston Enjoying Longest Winning Streak In Five Years
It’s been five years since a Boston Bruins team has gone on this kind of a streak. The B’s picked up their seventh straight victory in a 3-2 shootout win against the Vegas Golden Knights on Wednesday night. The team is 4-0 on it’s Western Conference road trip with a chance to sweep the roadie Saturday against the St. Louis Blues, winners of their last 11. The last streak of this magnitude was a 12-game winning streak in 2013-14. Boston has picked up points in each of its last 12 games. The last time the Bruins lost in regulation was on Jan. 19 against the New York Rangers. And it took one
Bruins Notes: David Pastrnak Sets Franchise Record With Goal Vs. Flyers
David Pastrnak no longer is a budding star, rather a full-fledged one. And during Wednesday’s game, he etched his name into the Boston Bruins record books. The 22-year-old winger tallied the first goal of the game in the Bruins’ 4-3 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers at Wells Fargo Center. And in scoring that goal, the 121st of his career, Pastrnak set the franchise record for most goals prior to their 23rd birthday, passing Barry Pederson. Certainly some elite company. One has to think that Pastrnak will make it even tougher for the next set of youngsters to pass him, as well. He won’t turn 23 until May of this year, meaning he

Patriots Notes: James Develin, Touchdown Machine, Is Unlikely Offensive Hero Vs. Vikings
by Zack Cox on Sun, Dec 2, 2018 at 10:43PM FOXBORO, Mass. — The New England Patriots found an unexpected solution to their goal-line issues Sunday: Just hand the ball to James Develin. Never known for his ball-carrying abilities, the Pro Bowl fullback was an unlikely offensive hero in Sunday’s 24-10 win over the Minnesota Vikings, scoring the third and fourth touchdowns of his seven-year NFL career on a pair of goal-line plunges. “Honestly, I’ve never dreamt about a game ...

Celtics Notes: Gordon Hayward’s Huge Night Propels Celtics Past Timberwolves
Gordon Hayward has been under the microscope since he suffered his gruesome ankle/leg injury last October. After his devastating injury, some wondered if he ever would be the same. Those questions have haunted the 2017 All-Star throughout the season as he has been working to knock the rust off. The Butler product started the season slow, and even was moved to an unfamiliar role on the bench, but has shown glimpses of his former self lately. On Saturday night, Hayward showed the NBA world he still can ball at an elite level. Hayward was the knight in shining armor the Boston Celtics needed Saturday in their 118-109 win over the Minnesota Timberwol... NESN.com
