The Bruins are the highest-scoring team in hockey and they consistently generate more scoring chances (including high-danger chances) than the opposition.
Montgomery has implemented a more up-tempo system that is unlocking the speed and skill of this Bruins roster without sacrificing too much of the defensive structure and discipline that has given the franchise so much success over the last 15 years.told reporters before Saturday's game"A tweak here and there in the system, not too many changes but he wants us to be really aggressive, he wants the D to be really aggressive and he wants the D to join the rush.
Nick Foligno is one such example. After scoring only two goals in 64 games last season, the veteran forward has seven points in 13 games. "And then defensively, I feel like we're just closing quick. I think that's still a work in progress, but we just feel like we're closing better on players and not giving teams as much time and space, which is something you fight for in this league. It's really worked for us."
Trust and belief in players are two other ways that Montgomery has maximized the production of this roster. Look no further than Jake DeBrusk. The 26-year-old winger received plenty of criticism from previous head coach Bruce Cassidy and was a healthy scratch at times during the previous two seasons. DeBrusk even submitted a trade request last November .
