- The victory looked more like the "full 60" that the Bruins have been seeking recently. [PortlandPressHerald]
- Anton Khudobin continued to merit the confidence that the Bruins in his goaltending. [ESPN]
- It was a good bounce back game, but the power play was ineffective and the officiating was odd in spots, as when Colton Orr jumped Adam McQuaid. [CausewayCrowd]

- Jordan Caron has been called up from Providence in the meantime. [@MarkDivver]
- The Bruins are close to bringing Carl Soderberg in, as third line struggles continue. Chris Bourque has been waived, and Jay Pandolfo inserted. [Boston Herald]
- Claude Julien still cautions that "we're certainly not perfect right now." [WEEI]
- "Pound for pound (Patrice Bergeron) is the best player in the NHL." [NECN]
