50 Games in, let's get into it:
1) The Bruins are still at 2 ppg scorers, those being Marchand and Pastrnak. But, Krejci, Bergeron, McAvoy, and DeBrusk are all at .75 ppg or higher, with solid depth scoring, so there's still a good chance that the 3 players mark is met AND the depth is better than expected.
2) McLaughlin played in 2 games, then was sent down. It is what it is, at this point.
3) Both Linus and Sway are playing well, but Ullmark is a true Vezina candidate, so the prediction is aging well.
4) Krejci, over 82 games, is on pace for 21.86 goals and 74.71 points, cutting it closer and closer to the goals mark I predicted but the points mark is getting wider and wider. I'll take it.
5) The Bruins, despite this three game skid against great competition, still lead the Atlantic and NHL in points. the NHL points record may be at stake if the skid continues for much longer, but it's hard to worry about performances right now with the cushion that the Bruins have made for themselves. No need to hit the panic button. Over 82 games, teams have highs and lows, the Bruins are in a low right now, and have plenty of time to pick it up.
