Which Bruin Has Most Double-Digit Goal, Double-Digit Fight Seasons Since Original Six Expanded? Gregory Campbell joined perhaps the most underrated group of Boston athletes in late March when he became just the 13th Bruins player to reach double-digit fights and double-digit goals in the same season.

The first-year Bruin potted his 10th goal in early march and dropped his mitts for the 10th time in late March when he took on Montreal's Paul Mara. Shawn Thornton joined the club on Wednesday night when he buried his 10th goal of the season with just a fraction of a second left in the first period against the Islanders. The B's bruiser now has 14 fights and a career-high 19 points this season.

As for other Bruins who are somewhat nearing the "Causeway Double-Double" this year, Milan Lucic, who accomplished the feat two years ago, is three fights away. Likely not making the list this year, but certainly deserve some attention are Adam McQuaid (is seven goals away), Nathan Horton (four fights away) and Andrew Ference, who is a longshot in need of seven tallies and six fights.

Sorry Tyler Seguin fans, but the rookie may have 11 goals in his first year, but he's a full 10 fights away. Tim Thomas may have a better chance to reach that feat as the netminder needs 10 goals (what's a measly 10 goals in today's NHL?) but is well on his way on the physical side as he needs just nine fights to join.

For every NESN televised Bruins home game this season, NESN and The Four's will be teaming up to offer B's fans the chance at winning a $50 gift card to The Four's Restaurant and Sports Bar by simply answering a trivia question found at NESN.com/thefours. Questions will be posted at noon every afternoon on the day of a Bruins home game, unless otherwise noted.
