Boston Bruins’ NHL-Best Habit Is Fueling Their Hot Start

The Boston Bruins have been one of the NHL’s most dangerous teams, especially late in games when opponents have a narrow lead. No other team in the NHL has scored like the Bruins in the third period. Per EdgeHalla, Boston has averaged 1.50 goals per game in the third period throughout their first 16 contests. Only the St. Louis Blues, at 1.47, have come close. Their third-period goals-for-to-goals-allowed ratio also paces the league. Boston has scored 24 times in the third frame while allowing just 13 goals. They are also 2-3-0 when trailing after two periods.
