The Boston Bruins delivered an impressive performance, scoring four unanswered goals in the second period to secure a 5-2 win over the New Jersey Devils. David Pastrnak and Kevin Shattenkirk each scored two goals, with Shattenkirk reaching his 100th and 101st career goals. Jake DeBrusk also contributed to the win. The Bruins continued their winning streak by defeating the Detroit Red Wings 5-3, with Trent Frederic scoring two goals and Charlie McAvoy providing three assists. The team's strong offensive showing has raised questions about their ability to maintain momentum in the upcoming regular season.
COLUMN: The Bruins are rolling again having won 3 straight coming out of Christmas break, with the latest a solid 5-3 New Year's Eve win over the Red Wings. The question now is whether they can weather the upcoming dog days of the regular season πππ» https://t.co/K43i3twSjC

The head-scratching lengthy goaltender interference review didn't rattle the Bruins. In fact, it allowed them to regroup to close 2023 on a high note. @_TimRosenthal shares his takeaways from the B's 5-3 win in Detroit. https://t.co/C95VYMxhCe
Here's your @BOSHockeyNow Bruins Postgame after the #NHLBruins closed out 2023 with a 5-3 over #LGRW: -Bruins finally beat the Red Wings -Frederic (π¨π¨π) -Coyle, DeBrusk, Zacha (π¨) -McAvoy (πππ) https://t.co/G12VMHK4a9
Pavel Zacha with another long distance empty net goal from just inside the Boston blue line. Bruins win 5-3 in a wild finish. Back-to-back five goal games for the B's in an impressive offensive showing coming out of Christmas
Final: Bruins 5, #RedWings 3
Jake DeBrusk gets hooked & tripped without calls and still speeds the puck out of a pileup in front of the Bruins net and fires a long distance empty net goal. Big spot for the B's to succeed in a third period empty net situation to make it a 4-2 score
Jake DeBrusk takes the hit -- or trip -- along the benches and notches the empty netter. 4-2 Bruins!
COLUMN: Is Jake DeBrusk the X-Factor for the Bruins offense? Sure feels like it. The B's are 11-2-0 in 13 games when DeBrusk registers a point this season, including back-to-back wins where he was powered by "the Christmas spirits" off a 3-day break https://t.co/D48gzN5Lfb

Indeed, the Bruins played to their forechecking identity en route to one of their better offensive performances of late. @_TimRosenthal shares his takeaways from the B's 5-2 win to close out their 2023 slate at TD Garden. @BostonDotCom https://t.co/nabtWYXN7U
David Pastrnak scored two of Boston's four second-period goals, Kevin Shattenkirk recorded his 100th and 101st career goals and the Bruins rallied for a victory over the #Devilsβ on Saturday night. https://t.co/kW0tQwIcDq
Here's your @BOSHockeyNow Bruins Postgame after a 5-2 win for the #NHLBruins over the #NJDevils: -Bruins win final home game of 2023 -Pastrnak, Shattenkirk (π¨π¨) -DeBrusk (π¨π) -Ullmark (31 saves) https://t.co/lEXIcLjO0P
Two in a row. Two goals for Pastrnak and Shattenkirk and a tone-setting marker from DeBrusk pace the Bruins to a 5-2 win over the Devils. 20-7-6. On to Detroit.
Brad Marchand to Kevin Shattenkirk and it's a 5-2 lead for the Bruins late in the third. Shattenkirk's second goal of the game. His last score was the 100th of his NHL career
That was easily one of the top 3 best periods of the season for the #NHLBruins! Four unanswered goals to lead 4-2 over the #NJDevils headed to the third period. @BOSHockeyNow @njdhockeynow
End of two here in Boston. Quite the turn of events as #NJDevils now trail the Bruins 4-2.
