Bruins head coach Bruce Cassidy joins “The Camera Guys” to preview the upcoming series against the Islanders, Tuukka Rask facing criticism, Brad Marchand’s influence on Taylor Hall, and evaluating Glenn’s tryout footage
BOSTON -- The Bruins had a tremendous start to Game 2 of their second-round Stanley Cup Playoff series versus the New York Islanders thanks to Charlie Coyle.
The third-line center used his speed, strength and offensive skill to make a strong push toward the net and beat Islanders goalie Semyon Varlamov for the game's first goal just 2:38 into the opening period.

The Weymouth, Mass., native also made a little history with the tally:
Coyle struggled during the regular season with 16 points (six goals, 10 assists) in 51 games.
If he gets hot in the playoffs, that would be a massive boost for the Bruins' scoring depth. Coyle had a fantastic second-round series in 2019 against the Columbus Blue Jackets, which the B's won in six games. A similar performance this year versus the Islanders would likely yield another positive result for Boston.
