BOSTON BRUINS - WINNIPEG JETS

Bruins: There's not much time in a 48-game season to get into midseason form, so Boston's 3-1 win Saturday over New York at TD Garden had to be encouraging for coach Claude Julien. The Bruins outshot the Rangers 14-7 in the first period and got the first goal by Milan Lucic, doubled their lead in the second courtesy of Daniel Paille, and put the game away in the third when Johnny Boychuk scored.
