    Boston Bruins (20-12-4 44pts) v. Hartford Whalers (14-15-5 33pts)

     

    Game Recap:

    The Hartford Whalers are back, and were they victorious. The Whalers had a rough start against the Boston Bruins, but as the game went on the more the Whalers played their game and forced the play in the Bruins zone and at one point score 4 unanswered goals which featured a shorthanded goal. Overall it was a great effort by the Whalers, and the next time we will see them will be Tuesday March 5th, 2019 in Boston.

    First Period:

    Whalers Penalty – 1:27 – Micheal Ferland 2 minutes for High Sticking

    Bruins PPG – 2:40 – Ryan Donato (4) from Torey Krug (18) and Brad Marchand (28)

    Bruins Penalty – 5:35 – Steven Kampfer 2 minutes for Holding

    Bruins Penalty – 6:39 – Noel Acciari 2 minutes for High Sticking

    Whalers Penalty – 19:44 – Andrei Svechnikov 2 minutes for High Sticking

     

    End of 1st – BOS – 2       HFD – 1

    Shots              11                13

    Faceoffs         14                09

    PP                 1/2                 0/2

     

    Analysis:

    Not a good start for the Whalers as they took an early penalty that lead to a powerplay goal for the Bruins, and then another goal before the 9 minute mark after killing a 5 on 3 Whalers powerplay opportunity. However, it would be that same 2 man advantage that would help the Whalers start to turn the tide against the Bruins as they would score to cut the deficit to 1 before the 1st period would end.

     

    Need to Do:

    The Whalers need to stay out of the penalty box, and continue to build on their momentum from their goal. The Whalers also need to continue to apply pressure in the Bruins zone.

     

    Second Period:

    Whalers SHG – 1:29 – Sebastian Aho (13) from Teuvo Teravainen (20)

    Whalers Goal – 7:11 – Sebastian Aho (14) from Teuvo Teravainen (21)

    Whalers Goal – 11:47 – Justin Faulk (2) from Micheal Ferland (5) and Justin Williams (13)

    Bruins Goal – 16:05 – Ryan Donato (5) from Colby Cave (4) and David Backes (7)

     

    End of 2nd – BOS – 3        HFD – 4

    Shots               18                 29

    Faceoffs          30                 19

    PP                   1/3                  0/2

     

    Analysis:

    A really good solid period for the Whalers that saw them score shorthanded while killing off their late 1st period penalty. That goal would spark the Whalers and their play as they played strong in the Bruins zone and forced the Bruins defense to make mistakes and turnover the puck in their own zone.

     

    Need to Do:

    The Whalers need to keep the puck in the Bruins zone and continue to pressure the defense into making turnovers in their own zone.

     

    Third Period:

    Whalers Penalty – 5:44 – Micheal Ferland 2 minutes for Hooking

    Whalers SHG – 7:20 – Teuvo Teravainen (8) and Sebastian Aho (24)

    Bruins Penalty – 14:27 – Bench (Ryan Donato) 2 minutes for Too Many Men

    Whalers Penalty – 17:20 – Andrei Svechnikov 2 minutes for Boarding

     

    End of 3rd – BOS – 3         HFD – 5

    Shots              30                   37

    Faceoffs        45                    30

    Hits               41                     32

    PP                 1/5                    0/3

     

    Analysis:

    A solid third period for the Whalers. They got themselves into a little bit of penalty trouble, but were able to kill off both penalties, and getting another shorthanded goal in the process.
