The Boston Bruins picked up a 6-3 home win over the Philadelphia Flyers on Thursday to extend their win streak to two games.<\/p>\n
Boston is now 10-1-1 in its last 12 games, as the Bruins have been playing stellar, and a key reason why is the depth players stepping up. On Thursday, Fraser Minten had a goal and two assists, as he and Casey Mittelstadt both had three points.<\/p>\n
Following the win, Mittelstadt heaped praise on Minten and his play this season.<\/p>\n
\u201cVery impressive for such a young kid to play like that,\u201d Mittelstadt said<\/a> on Thursday, as seen on NESN\u2019s postgame coverage. \u201c(Minten) fit right in. Felt very comfortable.<\/p>\n \u201cI thought we were moving the puck well, and even the last couple of games we\u2019ve had a lot of chances, and maybe they haven\u2019t gone. I think if you get one early, you start feeling good and you go from there.\u201d<\/p>\n Story continues below advertisement<\/p>\n Minten now has 14 goals and 15 assists for 29 points in 55 games this season with the Bruins.
