The good news has almost always been about the penalty kill, and the bad news concerns the power play.But in the Game 1 win over the Rangers, the special teams were in the win-win category.

Dougie Hamilton emerges from battered defense

The Boston Globe — A confluence of factors pushed Bruins defenseman Dougie Hamilton out of the lineup. He was a healthy scratch for six of the last nine regular-season games. Hamilton did not dress for Games 1, 3, and 4 against Toronto in the opening round. His defensive-zone play had dipped. Hamilton’s physical presence down low against angry forwards wasn’t stiff enough for the Bruins’ liking.
