Bruins earning recognition

Last night I chose my player of the game as Phil Kessel due to his all around good effort. However, let's look at three other stars of the game.

*Tim Thomas

Thomas kicked away 33 of the 35 shots that he faced to pick up his ninth victory of the season. With the win Thomas now owns a 9-2-3 record so far this season. Thomas has been brilliant between the pipes and is leading all starting goalies in the NHL with a 1.80 goals against average and .944 save percentage.

*Milan Lucic

Looch scored his sixth goal of the season last night on a nice feed from Phil Kessel. Lucic now has six goals and seven assists in 21 games this season. Last season, Lucic only tallied 27 points in 77 games last season. If Lucic keeps his current pace he will be looking at a 50 point season.

*Matt Hunwick

Hunwick now has a four-game points streak by potting the Bruins second goal. Hunwick is getting second power-play ice time and is getting better game by game. The rookie has been a nice surprise stepping in for the injured Andrew Ference. People were worried he would be a liability for the B's.
