The Bruins increased their lead in the Eastern Conference to three points with a 4-2 win over the Oilers on Thursday night, and the difference in the game was the stellar performance of backup goalie Chad Johnson. Boston came into the contest allowing just 28.9 shots per game, but it gave up 41 to the highly skilled Oilers. Even though he was forced to stop a lot of shots and three Edmonton power plays, Johnson stood tall in net and allowed just two goals. The 27-year-old netminder made a career-high 39 saves, and is has now won five consecutive games. Check out what he had to say about Thursday’s win in the video above.Filed under: Boston Bruins Video, Bruins Overtime Live, Chad Johnson, Headlines, NESN Video

When the Bruins signed Chad Johnson prior to the season, there were plenty of people who wrote off the acquisition of the career backup. There was far from a consensus that he’d make the big team. Through more than a third of the season, however, Johnson is looking like quite the pick-up. It’s not an easy job to be a backup goaltender in the NHL, but Johnson has flourished in...

The Bruins knew how dangerous the talented young Oilers could be, and it certainly showed last night. Fortunately for the B’s, they built a big enough cushion early — and received stellar 39-save goaltending from Chad Johnson — to slip away with a 4-2 victory. The Bruins have had a nasty habit of playing well for only a portion of games, yet finding ways to win — often with...

Via NESN.com  |  December 12, 2013
Torey Krug has tremendous vision in the attacking zone, and it’s one reason why the rookie defenseman is able to create so many scoring chances at even strength and on the power play. In the second period of Thursday’s game against the Oilers, Krug scanned the ice before receiving the puck at the point and delivered a great pass to Patrice Bergeron to set up a quality scoring...

A good portion of the Bruins’ success stems from their ability to kill penalties on a consistent basis, and their exceptional performance in this area of the game was a major factor in the team’s 4-2 victory over the Oilers on Thursday night.
