<h4><a target="_blank" href="http://www.extraskater.com/game/2014-02-01-oilers-bruins">Extra Skater Stats</a></h4>
<p><span>Ben Scrivens</span> deserves a lot of credit. After a 59-save night against the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.fearthefin.com/">San Jose Sharks</a>, he came into TD Garden today and gave the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.stanleycupofchowder.com/">Bruins</a> fits through 22 minutes - and 22 shot attempts. It took a huge scramble in front of the net and David Krejci finding some open space by the hashmarks to break Scrivens' shutout streak - and even from there, Scrivens kept it a 1-0 game, despite getting next to no help from his teammates.</p>
<p>The Bruins scored three very quick goals in the third period, and the game ended 4-0 - with the Bruins outshooting Edmonton 41-22. The shots on goal pretty accurately reflect zone time - it seemed like the Bruins were in the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.coppernblue.com/">Oilers</a>' end for most of the game, getting a ton of opportunities, but just couldn't get past the Oilers' last line of defense.</p>
<h4>The Good:</h4>
<p>- <span>Dougie Hamilton</span> is riding a two-game goal streak, after beating Scrivens with a slick wraparound goal in the third period. Must be the hair.</p>
<p>- <span>Carl Soderberg</span> extended his points streak to four games with a goal and an assist tonight; he now has 8 goals and 20 assists on the season. Thanks, St. Louis!</p>
<p>- <span>Brad Marchand</span> and <span>Patrice Bergeron</span> dismantled the Oilers' power play, getting more chances than the Oilers on every PK.</p>
<p>- <span>Torey Krug</span> got himself on the scoresheet again, putting him right behind <span>Zdeno Chara</span> and Erik Karlsson in total goals by a defenseman.</p>
<p>- That Andrew Ference tribute was pretty excellent.</p>
<p>- Chad Johnson shutout! Oh, and<a target="_blank" href="https://www.burst.com/widget/index.html?hidestrip=true&bubbleId=YnViYmxlLXB1YmxpYzozODI2MDY1MDQwMTkzNTAwMDA6OTIyMzM3MjAzNjg1NDc3NTgwNzpwdWJsaWM6NWNjNDU2NDYxM2UyMzhiNDIyZTEyNGZlYTRkNWUzNDM6LTg5NTg5NjgwMzg3OTM3NzM1MTA%3D"> he also said hi after the game.</a></p>
<h4>The Bad:</h4>
<p>- Wow, the Oilers look like a JV team.</p>
<p>- Really there wasn't much to say condemning the Bruins today. They were playing against an extremely low quality team with an excellent goaltender, and everything that happened reflected exactly that.</p>
<p>- <span>Loui Eriksson</span> had a goal disallowed, that was pretty dumb.</p>
<h4>The Interesting:</h4>
<p>- <span>Chad Johnson's</span> record in black and gold is now 10-3-0. We take back all our hatred, Chad Johnson!</p>
<h4><span>Notable Moments:</span></h4>
<p>Loui Eriksson can count to potato!</p>

<p><span>Andrew Ference</span>'s return to the Garden today reminded us all how great of a teammate and person he was, and how much we miss him. He received a tribute on the Garden scoreboard that NESN couldn't be bothered to show us.</p>

<p>NESN showed some highlights of his greatest moments sticking up for teammates, noting that even after there was a dispute between he and <span>Mark Recchi</span> in regards to the NHLPA, he didn't hesitate to come to the rescue after a dirty hit by <span>David Backes</span>.</p>
