Bruins’ Big 3 combines for 13 points in win over Rangers
The Boston Bruins' vaunted top line gave the New York Rangers all they could handle on Sunday at Madison Square Garden.
The dominant trio of Patrice Bergeron, Brad Marchand, and David Pastrnak simply torched the Blueshirts, combining for 13 points in a 7-4 victory.
Here's a look at their body of work:
| Player | G | A | P | TOI |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bergeron | 3 | 0 | 3 | 17:35 |
| Marchand | 2 | 3 | 5 | 17:05 |
| Pastrnak | 0 | 5 | 5 | 16:02 |
Sunday's outing continued a torrid stretch for Boston's top line this season. Bergeron has recorded 11 points in 11 games, while Marchand extended his point streak to 10 contests - recording seven goals and 12 assists over that span. Pastrnak, who entered the contest leading the NHL with 11 goals, now paces the entire league in points with 23.
With a combined 23 tallies so far in the new campaign, Boston's top line has now scored a remarkable 63% of the club's 36 goals.

Senators’ Ryan to be healthy scratch vs. Sharks
Ottawa Senators forward Bobby Ryan will be a healthy scratch against the San Jose Sharks on Sunday night, head coach D.J. Smith told reporters, including The Athletic's Hailey Salvian.
Ryan will be replaced in the lineup by forward Filip Chlapik, the team's 48th overall selection in the 2015 draft.
The 32-year-old Ryan in the fifth season of a seven-year deal, which carries a cap hit of $7.25 million.
The veteran has just one goal and three assists through 10 contests this season. He's seen his role reduced and is averaging 12:36 minutes of ice time per game.
This is only the second time Ryan has been a healthy scratch in the last 12 years. He was left out of the lineup in January 2017 by former Sens coach Guy Boucher, according to Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun.

Report: Sharks’ Dillon won’t face discipline for hit on Matthews
San Jose Sharks defenseman Brenden Dillon will not receive supplemental discipline for his check to Toronto Maple Leafs forward Auston Matthews, according to Sportsnet's Chris Johnston.
Dillon caught Matthews up high as the Maple Leafs star crossed the Sharks' blue line in the second period of Friday night's contest. Dillon was not penalized on the play.
Matthews left the game to enter concussion protocol but returned for the third period. He said postgame he "felt fine" and was "just shaken up."
The Sharks rearguard said he apologized to Matthews postgame.
Matthews scored his ninth goal of the season with 30 seconds left in regulation as Toronto pulled out a 4-1 victory.
