BOSTON BRUINS Vs. NEW YORK ISLANDERS BOSTON BRUINS vs. NEW YORK ISLANDERS POST GAME NOTES MILESTONES REACHED: • Patrice Bergeron played his 1,000th NHL & Bruins game tonight ... He becomes the 334th player to achieve that milestone, the 12th to do so this season, and the 31st to play all of his career games with one team ... He is the fifth Bruin to play 1,000 games in a Boston uniform, joining Ray Bourque (1518), John Bucyk (1436), Don Sweeney (1052) and Wayne Cashman (1027). WHO’S HOT: • Tuukka Rask extended his point streak to ten games at 8-0-2 with tonight’s 3-1 win. • Patrice Bergeron had two goals tonight, giving him 4-4=8 totals in six of his last eight games with 9-11=20 totals in 11 of his last 18 games. • Brad Marchand had two assists tonight, giving him 3-9=12 totals in seven of his last eight games with 7-11=18 totals in ten of his last 14 games. • David Pastrnak had two assists tonight, extending his point streak to five games with 3-6=9 totals in that span and giving him 7-10=17 totals in 11 of his last 14 contests. • Peter Cehlarik had a goal tonight, giving him 3-1=4 totals in three of his seven games played this season. • Kevan Miller had an assist tonight, snapping a 13-game scoreless stretch since an assist Dec. 29 at Buffalo. • New York’s Jordan Eberle had a goal tonight, giving him 5-2=7 totals in six of his last 13 games. • New York’s Mathew Barzal had an assist tonight, giving him 3-6=9 totals in seven of his last 11 games. • New York’s Brock Nelson had an assist tonight, giving him points in consecutive games with 1-1=2 totals. THIS AND THAT: • With his assist on Boston’s first goal tonight, David Pastrnak’s assist on Boston’s first goal tonight gave him a stretch of factor- ing into eight straight Boston goals (2nd goal in 3-2 loss to NYR on 1/19; 1-2=3 in 4-3 shootout loss vs. WPG on 1/29; 2-0=2 in 3-2 OT loss to PHI on 1/31; assist in 1-0 win at WSH on 2/3), which is the second-longest such streak in team history (9 - Phil Esposito, 1973-74 & Ray Bourque, 1993-94). • Tuukka Rask’s shutout streak was snapped at 96:40 when Jordan Eberle scored tonight ... The streak spanned his previous goal allowed, the OT score vs. PHI on 1/31, a 1-0 shutout in WSH on 2/3 and 36:40 of tonight’s game. SPECIAL TEAMS: • The Bruins went 0 for 3 (0.0%) on the power play tonight ... They are now 45 for 168 on the power play this season (26.9%) and they have allowed ten shorthanded goals. • The Islanders went 1 for 5 (20.0%) on the power play tonight ... They are now 25 for 155 on the power play this season (16.1%) and they have allowed one shorthanded goal. • The Bruins went 4 for 5 (80.0%) on the penalty kill tonight ...

They are now 118 for 148 on the penalty kill this season (79.7%) ... They have scored five shorthanded goals. ATTENDANCE: • Tonight’s attendance was a sellout figure of 17,565. • That extends the Bruins’ sellout streak at TD Garden to 413 straight regular season and playoff games starting on Dec. 5, 2009 vs. Ottawa. • Their last non-sellout game at TD Garden was on Dec. 2, 2009 when a Wednesday game vs. the Tampa Bay Lightning drew 16,553. BACK-TO-BACK GAMES: • The Bruins opened tonight their tenth of 14 sets of back-to-back games this season ... They now have a 5-4-1 record in game ones and a 7-1-1 mark in game twos of those series. THREE GAMES IN FOUR NIGHTS: • The Bruins played game two of their 11th of 17 sets of three games in four nights tonight ...

  • Jim Schoenfeld September 4, 1952 –
    CAMBRIDGE SPORTS HALL OF FAME Jim Schoenfeld September 4, 1952 – Galt native Jim Schoenfeld was the first defenceman and the fifth player chosen overall in the 1972 NHL draft. After finishing his Junior A career with the Niagara Falls Flyers, Jim went to the Buffalo Sabres, where big things were expected from him. He didn’t disappoint. In his rookie season he was immediately paired with hockey great Tim Horton. He joined a Sabres team with such future legends as Gilbert Perreault, the late Rick Martin and Rene Robert, known as the French Connection Line. Over the next 13 years in the NHL, Schoenfeld earned a reputation as a strong positional player, a great shot blocker and an aggressive, tough defenceman. In 1974-75 the Sabres, a team of star players, had one of the strongest squads in the league, losing out in the Stanley Cup finals to the Philadelphia Flyers. Their captain was Schoenfeld. He had become Buffalo’s – and the NHL’s – youngest-ever captain in 1974 at the ripe old age of 22. S c h o e n f e l d ’s efforts didn’t go unnoticed. He was a second team all- star in 1979-80, and today is an honoured member of both the Buffalo Sabres and the Greater Buffalo Sports Halls of Fame. Schoenfeld had a lead- ing role in one of the legendary moments in Sabres’ history. It was the night Schoenfeld and Wayne Cashman, longtime Boston star, squared off at Buffalo’s War M e m o r i a l Auditorium.
