Boston Bruins' Jakub Lauko scored his first goal of the season in a game against the Colorado Avalanche, prompting a humorous response from the player. After struggling to find the back of the net, Lauko's goal brought relief and satisfaction, with coach Jim Montgomery acknowledging the impact of a goal drought on a player's mindset. With four points on the season, Lauko looks to continue his momentum as the Bruins face the Montreal Canadiens next.
The Boston Bruins set a new franchise record with their 58th win of the season, clinching their fourth Presidents' Trophy as the NHL's top seed. David Pastrnak scored the game-winning goal in overtime, bringing his season total to 99 points. Jakub Lauko and Trent Frederic both dropped the gloves in the game, with Lauko sparking the team's energy and Frederic standing up for his captain. The Bruins are now focused on the playoffs and the ultimate goal of winning the Stanley Cup.
The Boston Bruins have a chance to set a franchise record for single-season victories and secure the fourth Presidents' Trophy in team history with a win against the Columbus Blue Jackets. Boston is more focused on rebounding from Tuesday's loss to the Nashville Predators and sticking to their process. Jakub Lauko will be back in the lineup after sitting out Tuesday's game with an upper-body injury. Linus Ullmark will make his second consecutive start between the pipes, and Jakub Zborill will sub in for Matt Grzelcyk on the back end. Columbus has lost back-to-back games and is at the bottom of the NHL's standings.
