CALGARY Womens Seth Jones Jersey , Alberta — The Boston Bruins, led by one of the NHL’s hottest lines, will kick off a four-game road trip when they take on the Calgary Flames at the Scotiabank Saddledome on Wednesday.After losing their first game of the season 7-0 on the road to the defending Stanley Cup champion Washington Capitals on Oct. 3, the Bruins bounced back with four straight wins.“We needed to take care of business at home this week after our start and I think we did a good job with that,” Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy said. “We got progressively better away from the puck, which led us to be a lot better with the puck. We’re finishing well obviously. The top line’s scoring. Our power play’s contributing. Now you take it on the road. Calgary’s played well.”Article continues below ...Boston’s top line of Patrice Bergeron, David Pastrnak and Brad Marchand has been tough to contain during their four-game winning streak. After being the named the NHL’s First Star of the Week on Monday, Bergeron was quick to pass along credit to Pastrnak and Marchand as well.“Playing with some pretty amazing linemates helps a lot,” said Bergeron, who is off to a great start to the season with five goals and six assists in his team’s first five outings. “When it happens like that you just kind of go with it. You just ride the wave, I guess. We had some chemistry as soon as we started skating together. It doesn’t happen often, but it’s some pretty special chemistry we have going on.”Calgary coach Bill Peters said the Flames will definitely have to be wary of the talented trio every time they’re on the ice for the Bruins.“It’s a really good line — arguably one of the best lines in the league — and they’ve got a lot of different things that compliment it,” Peters said. “Bergeron’s one of the best 200-foot players in the history of the game and then obviously Pastrnak’s a young guy coming into his own offensively and Marchand’s relentless and has way more skill than people think, so it’s a real good line.“We’ve got to make sure they spend some time in their own zone, too. It’s not always about just defending against good lines. You’ve got to make them play in their own zone.”Forward Sean Monahan agreed with Peters that he and his teammates need to keep close tabs on the likes of Bergeron, Pastrnak and Marchand.“Especially that top line, we’ve got to be aware of them,” Monahan said. “We’ve got to stick to our game plan and worry about ourselves. I think we’ve got a good team, a lot of skill, and can put the puck in the net. I think we’ve just got to play smart and work hard.”After blocking a shot during Calgary’s 3-2 overtime victory over the Colorado Avalanche in Denver on Saturday night, Monahan took a well-deserved day off Monday before returning to practice with the Flames at the Saddledome on Tuesday.“It was nice to get a little rest,” said Monahan, who set up linemate Johnny Gaudreau’s overtime goal Saturday. “We obviously have three days in between games and that’s big. I felt good and it was nice to get back out there.“I just got it on the side of my foot,” added Monahan in regard to his injury. “It was an uncomfortable spot. It feels good now and I’m happy to be back out there with the guys.” PITTSBURGH (AP) Taylor Hall just wants to contribute to the New Jersey Devils‘ playoff run.The Devils are happy that he’s contributing at a historic pace.Hall equaled the Devils’ franchise record with points in 15 straight games, Stefan Noesen scored the only goal of the third period and New Jersey beat the Pittsburgh Penguins 3-2 on Tuesday night.”The points feel more important and that’s a really good feeling as a player,” Hall said. ”We’re in the middle of a playoff run and games are important, so I’m happy that I’m able to do my part.”Noesen, playing in his 100th NHL game, broke a 2-2 tie with his ninth of the season five minutes into the third. He tipped Andy Greene’s attempt from the side boards behind Penguins goaltender Casey DeSmith.Hall equaled a career high with his 27th goal and had an assist. Hall, who missed three games with a hand injury, has points in the last 22 games in which he’s played Sonny Milano Jersey , scoring 15 goals and 32 points during that span. He’s the fifth player in the last 25 years with at least one point in 22 consecutive appearances.”The first period, I probably touched the puck five or six times and I get an assist in the neutral zone,” Hall said. ”That’s the way it’s going. You score points in 22 straight games, there’s got to be some luck involved, and things are going your way, but you want to create those chances.”Sidney Crosby scored his 21st goal and Matt Hunwick tallied his fourth for the Penguins, whose 11-game home win streak ended.The Penguins, who have won 11 of 15 overall, lost in Pittsburgh for the first time since Jan. 4. It was their longest home winning streak since a franchise-record 13-game run during the 2013-14 season.”I don’t think you can exhale and take it easy,” Crosby said. ”You have to find a way to keep that hunger. It’s going to be a fight until the end and we have to have a consistent effort.”Kyle Palmieri scored his 17th goal for the Devils, who are fighting for an Eastern Conference wild card spot. New Jersey has won six of eight after losing eight of its previous 11.Keith Kinkaid made 36 saves for the Devils in his 26th appearance, matching a career high.DeSmith, a rookie, stopped 35 shots for Pittsburgh. He was recalled from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton of the American Hockey League on Monday. Penguins starter Matt Murray is out indefinitely with a concussion after he took a puck to the mask during Monday’s practice.”Obviously, we want Matt to be healthy,” DeSmith said. ”But the playoff run coming up is really key.”Derick Brassard figures to be a key part of the Penguins’ postseason push.Brassard made his debut for Pittsburgh after he was acquired from the Ottawa Senators on Feb. 23. Brassard, who received an ovation before his first shift, primarily centered the Penguins’ third line, starting with Phil Kessel and Conor Sheary before mixing in Riley Sheahan later in the game.”It’s going to take me a couple games to get a feel for my linemates and a feel for the way we play,” Brassard said.Brassard spent the last three days in Toronto sorting out immigration paperwork before joining his new teammates for Tuesday’s morning skate. The 30-year-old Brassard is in his 10th NHL season, but he said he was nervous when he arrived at the rink.Pittsburgh is trying to become the first team since the 1982-83 New York Islanders to win three straight Stanley Cups, and the Penguins aggressively pursued Brassard, who averaged 19 goals and 48 points during the last five seasons with Ottawa and the New York Rangers.”I was kind of nervous a little bit, which is part of the excitement of being here,” Brassard said. ”But after a couple shifts, I was in the game.”NOTES: F Patrick Maroon did not play for the Devils. He was acquired on Monday from the Edmonton Oilers. … The Penguins signed F Patric Hornqvist to a five-year, $26.5 million contract that carries an average annual value of $5.3 million per season. Hornqvist, who won two Stanley Cups with the Penguins, could have become an unrestricted free agent on July 1. … The Devils sent G Cory Schneider to Binghamton of the American Hockey League for a conditioning assignment. … Pittsburgh recalled G Tristan Jarry on an emergency basis following Murray’s injury. … Tom Kuhnhackl returned to the Penguins’ lineup after missing eight games with a lower-body injury.UP NEXTDevils: Continue a three-game road trip Thursday at Florida.Penguins: Visit Boston on Thursday.—
