Statistical Leaders in 2016-17

Top Forward: Brad Marchand (76gp 37g 44a 81pts)
Top Defenseman: Torey Krug (76gp 7g 41a 48pts)
Top Rookie: Brandon Carlo (76gp 6g 9a 15pts)
Top Goaltender: Tuukka Rask (34 wins 2.35GAA .910 save percentage)

Player of the Week: F Riley Nash (3gp 3g 2a 5pts)

Boston needed a winning week last week and they got one with a 2-1-0 record, they now hold the second wild card spot in the east because of it. The only question now is can they keep it up and hold it. Riley Nash had himself a solid week as well as Dominic Moore.

Nash was very solid last week putting up five points in three games, Moore wasn’t too far behind with four points of his own. And they both combined for a plus-eight rating which is also superb. Both Tuukka Rask and Anton Khudobin appeared in games last week for the Bruins. Rask played in two earning a 1-1-0 record along with a .887 save percentage and a 3.03 goals-against-average. Khudobin, on the other hand, was much better with a .947 save percentage and a 1.00 goals-against-average and a 1-0-0 record. As they regular season comes to an end the Bruins are in need of more points, and this week they’ll get a hand with that since they play the Stars, Panthers, Blackhawks, and Lightning.

Weekly Prospect Profile: Anders Bjork, Univ of. Notre Dame (NCAA)

2016-17 stats: 38gp 21g 31a 52pts

Anders Bjork is coming off a career season in the NCAA where he scored 52 points in 38 games. Which isn’t too surprising granted how gifted of a player he is. He’ll most likely be making his jump to pro next season with the majority of his time being spent in the AHL.
