Keys to Winning against Boston:
1. Puck Possession
a. Puck Possession, need to get the majority of it. Make sure they don’t have much time to make plays in your zone.
2. Attack the injury riddled defence
a. So many injuries on the backend for the bruins, attack the weakness and expose it.
3. Keep the Depth Scoring Coming
a. The Depth has come alive the last few games, needs to remain dangerous. Keep teams thinking.
