Brazeau Scores in NHL Debut
Justin Brazeau scored a goal on a team-leading five shots in Monday’s 4-3 shootout victory over the Stars. Brazeau was certainly noticeable in his NHL debut, leading the Bruins with five shots, including a wrister from the slot that beat Jake Oettinger to tie the game 2-2 early in the second period. The 26-year-old Brazeau could offer some scoring upside on Boston’s fourth line after he posted 18 goals and 37 points in 49 games at AHL Providence this year.
McDavid’s Point Streak Reaches Four Games
Connor McDavid posted two assists and a plus-1 rating in Monday’s 6-3 drubbing of the Coyotes. McDavid hasn’t scored in six games, his longest goal drought since he went eight games without a goal from Oct. 19 to Nov. 11. He’s still producing like an MVP candidate. During his goal current drought, the Edmonton captain has posted 15 assists and a plus-7 rating.
