They are not all on the same team but they had a hand in the out come of the game as the Boston Bruins remained hot and beat the Pittsburgh Penguins 4-2 to sweep the home and home series against last year's Stanley Cup runner up. Yep the Bruins are tied with the San Jose Sharks for the NHL's best team.
Former Golden Gopher Blake Wheeler continues to impress the naysayers as Wheeler added another assist on David Krejci's 14th goal of the season. David Krejci is also second on the Bruins in points with (14 goals - 27 assists - 41 points).
Former Boston College Eagle and Sioux killer Chuck Kobasew assisted on Milian Lucic's 11th goal of the season.
Former Golden Gopher and current Penguin Alex Goligoski remained hot as he assisted on Dustin Jeffrey first goal of the year.
Former Wild Goalie Manny Fernandez is impressed with the Bruin's season so far:
"It is unbelievable to do what we are doing," Fernandez said. "Looking at those numbers kinds of scares me... you don't want to be the one to drop the ball."
Fernandez improved to 9-0-0 at home. Boston has only two regulation losses since Oct. 30 and its winning streak is its longest since March 9-28, 1973.
With the home-and-home sweep over the Penguins, the Bruins also moved into the top spot in the NHL with 62 points, one more than idle San Jose.
"When you have that kind of talent on the other side ... you have to be extremely disciplined and I like the way we responded," Bruins coach Claude Julien said.
