The Boston Bruins held a moment of silence Tuesday night to honor the lives lost over the weekend in two shootings, one at Brown University in Rhode Island and one at Bondi Beach.

Barrett Hayton put Utah on the board first, beating Jeremy Swayman through traffic with 12:26 left in the first. Morgan Geekie snapped his season-long three-game goal drought with 3:59 left in the first. His 23rd goal of the season came on the power play and tied the game 1-1 after the first.

The Bruins currently sit at 9-1, with a good chance to become 10-1 following the matchup against Cal Poly. The Bruins have been one of the most dominant teams

While the on-ice clash will be slightly less dramatic than a bear vs. a mammoth, it should still be a decent game. Utah is having a pretty good second season, and the Bruins are a better team (as a collective) than they were when these two sides met in Salt Lake City in October.

The Boston Bruins claimed Stars defenseman Vladislav Kolyachonok off waivers Tuesday. Dallas placed Kolyachonok on waivers Monday, hoping he’d clear and be reassigned to the Texas Stars.

Gabriela Jaquez will most likely be tasked with slowing down star Cal Poly guard Vanessa McManus, who is averaging 20.1 points per game, as well as grabbing 5.7 rebounds per game. Jaquez has a significant height difference over McManus, meaning Jaquez should dominate this matchup well.

"I'm not sure if Matias Maccelli's going to be their guy still, or they look for someone else." The post Bruins reportedly searching for ‘scoring winger’ before trade deadline appeared first on Boston.

The Bruins traded in their helmets, shoulder pads, and sticks for Santa hats, reindeer antlers, and candy canes on Monday.
