"I think they're really, really good players," said Zacha. Zacha, Hall, and DeBrusk connected for the winning tally on Sunday night in Vegas and have shown some strong chemistry in the few games that have played together this season with Krejci out of the lineup. "But specifically, when they're together, it feels like the other team really gets concerned…so, it's a little bit of a mental advantage I think our team can have." "What I like is can play with anyone and play well," Montgomery said of reuniting the first line. With Krejci sidelined, Pavel Zacha will remain as the second-line center between Taylor Hall and Jake DeBrusk, while David Pastrnak will ride with Brad Marchand and Patrice Bergeron as the top trio. "We're just making sure we're being cautious," said Montgomery. Montgomery did not seem overly concerned, however, noting that if it was the postseason, Krejci would be in the lineup.

And maybe it's just an attitude difference, but they are still a defense first team still." "I think they seem to be playing with a little more pace…I can't really see what I attribute that. "I think the structure is basically the same," said Montgomery. Mat Barzal leads the Isles in scoring with 30 points (three goals, 27 assists) in 29 games, while Brock Nelson paces the club with 14 goals. The Islanders, meanwhile, have rebounded nicely from a disappointing 2021-22 campaign, as they currently sit in the East's second wild card spot with a 17-12-0 record and 34 points.

"And we were hoping that by the time the game time comes around today because we skated later, let them sleep in longer, and we had a full night's sleep the night before, that will be better in the game because you would ideally like two days coming back from the West Coast because you your body acclimates one hour a day." And even though we're a little bit dragging today, we felt we needed to skate later to get somewhere between a hybrid of West Coast time and East Coast time, so that's why we wanted 11:15. "And we would have arrived at 5:30 in the morning and our sleep would have been discombobulated for the second day before. "We traveled because we felt sleep two days before is really important," said coach Jim Montgomery, whose club is beginning a five-game homestand.
As such, the Bruins adjusted their gameday routine to allow for more sleep and recovery.
