In the only other meeting of the season between the Boston Bruins and the Winnipeg Jets, the Bruins were able to cruise to a 4-1 victory in an early-January matchup. People who watched the game saw what it looks like when one of the best offenses in then league takes on one of the worst defenses.
One of the main reasons why the Bruins were able to easily get the win was their face-off dominance. Boston won 37 of the game's 57 face-offs, which certainly helped them get better scoring opportunities. Winnipeg did end up with more shots on goal, but many were from odd angles as the Bruins collapsed in front of their own net.
The Jets scored first through a Dustin Byfuglien first period unassisted goal, but that was all they would get on the night. Daniel Paille answered late in the first period, then Torey Krug provided two goals in the second for the Bruins as they took a 3-1 lead. Midway through the third period, Reilly Smith was able to seal the win for Boston with his 15th of the season.
Krug was the top performer for the Bruins in the game, scoring those two goals and adding an assist in the win. Goalie Tuukka Rask also had a great game, stopping 36 of Winnipeg's 37 shots for a fantastic .973 save percentage.
