Yes, the Bruins beat the Islanders on Tuesday night. No, they still don't look like they're ready to win consistently.

Bo Horvat and Kyle Palmieri gave the Isles a 2-0 lead for the third straight game, as they scored in the first 4:52, but the Bruins grabbed control of the game in the second period when they had ten of the first 11 shots and scored three times.

BOSTON — The news could have been bad. The Bruins called up Jonathan Aspirot on Monday to give them depth on defense for their road trip to Ottawa after placing Hampus Lindholm retroactively on injured reserve. So when they activated Lindholm on Tuesday, Aspirot could have been sent back to Providence.

The NHL only has two games on Monday night ahead of every team playing on Tuesday evening. Luckily, each game has at least one bet worth making on this small sl

The Bruins started out with the lead on Monday. Morgan Geekie stopped the puck at the offensive blueline and dashed toward the net, lasering one past Leevi Meriläinen to make it 1-0 at 3:06. It was the forward’s fifth goal in four games and seventh of the season.

As he moved toward the net, he drew his stick back, loading up for what looked like a slap shot, just inside the top of the faceoff circle. Islander goalie Ilya Sorokin and the defense in front of him reacted accordingly, but Lindholm didn’t shoot.

Hampus Lindholm will make his return to the Bruins' lineup on Tuesday, while Mason Lohrei will be a healthy scratch.

Boston Bruins center Pavel Zacha has been one of the most-talked-about players in the rumor mill early on this season. However, based on a new update, trade speculation surrounding the key Bruins forward should be slowing down.

BOSTON — After Morgan Geekie scored his sixth goal in his last five games, David Pastrnak made a bold prediction about his Bruins teammate and linemate after Boston’s 5-2 win.
