The Boston Bruins have had one of the NHL’s most dominant lines over the past two years in the trio of Patrice Bergeron, Brad Marchand, and David Pastrnak, a group that has put some video game type numbers on the board.

GOLD STAR: Patrice Bergeron scored the first goal of the game on the first shift of the game, and didn't let up until he'd finished with the first Bruins hat trick on opening night since Cam Neely did it during his Hall of Fame career.

For good measure Bergeron finished with four shots on net, six shot attempts and won 14-of-24 face-offs while playing his typically brilliant game at both ends of the ice. Continue to Article
