Nikita Zadorov sends a clear warning to Sam Bennett and the Florida Panthers after a massive win
Boston Bruins gritty defenseman Nikita Zadorov had a clear message for Sam Bennett and the Florida Panthers after taking a beautiful comeback win last night.
Things didn't start off how the Bruins wanted it too, and they trailed 2-0 in the third period. The Boston Bruins would then go on to score three unanswered goals against the Panthers, beating them 3-2.
Since the NHL trade deadline, the Boston Bruins have gone 2-0, beating both Tampa Bay and Florida. Pretty impressive considering they moved on from some big names like Carlo, Coyle, Marchand and Frederic during the NHL trade deadline, and before that they had lost 8 out of their last nine games.
