Minten's Three-Point Night Lifts Bruins
Late third-period goal caps a 5-1 Boston win as Minten finishes with a goal and two assists
Fraser Minten delivered the offensive story for Boston. He finished with 1 goal and 2 assists in a 5-1 win, with all his production coming at even strength — 1 goal, 2 assists, 3 points — and he scored in the third period at 15:59 of regulation.
Minten skated 14:25 and logged 18 shifts, which ranked 11th among 18 skaters and 5th of 12 forwards on the team. He registered 3 shots on goal, 1 takeaway, and picked up 2 penalty minutes; he posted a +3 on the night. Season totals show 2 goals, 3 assists (5 points) in 6 games, and his on-ice expected-goals share is 37.
Plain takeaway: Minten was the scorer and playmaker in Boston’s win, doing all his damage at even strength while skating a middle-range amount of ice time for the Bruins that night.
