Third Line Stays Hot; Craig Smith Opens Scoring For Bruins Vs. Islanders
This line is feeling itself
BOSTON — When you’re hot, you’re hot, and the Bruins’ third line is cooking with gas.
Boston went up 1-0 on the New York Islanders at TD Garden early in the first period on a shift in which the third line absolutely bullied the Isles.
Charlie Coyle laid a big hit on Adam Pelech to keep the puck in possession of the Bruins before Craig Smith, who forced a turnover to start the drive, netted a rebound by Ilya Varlamov.
That’s No. 15 of the season for Smith.
