Poitras and Frederic help undefeated Boston Bruins blank Chicago Blackhawks 3-0


The Boston Bruins matched the best start in franchise history with a 3-0 win over the Chicago Blackhawks on Tuesday night. Matthew Poitras and Trent Frederic scored 56 seconds apart in the third period to seal the victory for the Bruins, who are now 6-0-0.

Pavel Zacha also scored for Boston, and Jeremy Swayman made 23 saves to record his 10th career shutout. The Bruins closed out a perfect four-game trip with the win, and they have now won six consecutive games to start the season.

Poitras, a 19-year-old rookie, opened the scoring in the third period when he skated past veteran Blackhawks forward Corey Perry and beat Mrazek on the glove side. Frederic then made it 3-0 when he knocked home a slick pass from James van Riemsdyk.

The Bruins controlled the game from start to finish, outshooting the Blackhawks 43-23. Swayman was solid in net, making several key saves to keep the Blackhawks off the board.

The Bruins' undefeated start is the best in franchise history since the 1937-38 season. The team is looking like one of the early favorites to win the Stanley Cup this year.

Bruins' Young Guns Shine in Win

The Bruins' young players were on full display in the win over the Blackhawks. Poitras is now tied for the team lead in goals with three, and Frederic has two goals and two assists in six games.

Other young Bruins who have had a strong start to the season include David Pastrnak (2 goals, 4 assists), Jake DeBrusk (1 goal, 3 assists), and Charlie McAvoy (1 goal, 3 assists).

The Bruins have a bright future with this young core of players. If they can stay healthy, they will be a force to be reckoned with in the Eastern Conference for years to come.

The Republican primary race for president in 2024

The Republican primary race for president in 2024 is already shaping up to be a competitive one. There are a number of high-profile candidates who have already announced their intention to run, and more are expected to join the field in the coming months. The frontrunner for the nomination is former President Donald Trump. Trump has been teasing a 2024 run for months, and he has a large and loyal following among Republican voters. However, he is also a polarizing figure, and his candidacy could alienate some moderate Republicans. Another potential contender for the nomination is Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. DeSantis has been praised by many conservatives for his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and his opposition to vaccine mandates. He is also seen as a rising star in the Republican Party. Other potential candidates include former Vice President Mike Pence, former Ambassador Nikki Haley, and Senator Tim Scott. Pence is a more traditional Republican who could appeal to moderate vote...

Currently, judges of the Supreme Court, including the chief justice, retire after attaining the age of superannuation, i.e. 65 years, as stipulated in Article 179 of the Constitution. While giving his opinion recently on the reports of the constitutional amendment, Law Minister Azam Nazeer Tarar had said he “will not vehemently turn down the proposals related to the tenure of the chief justice”. Addressing the issue during a press conference in Islamabad today along since Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb and the law minister, Attaullah said the extension in the retirement age was “a proposal to a...

In his maiden speech during a session of the newly elected National Assembly, PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari on Monday endorsed the PTI’s call for a judicial inquiry into the May 9 riots. He passed these remarks in reference to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur’s recent call for the formation of a judicial commission to probe the violent protests that erupted across the country following PTI founder Imran Khan’s arrest on May 9 last year. “I call upon the chief justice Supreme Court of Pakistan (Justice Qaez Faiz Isa) to form [a judicial commission] and see who are the beneficiaries [of May 9],” Gandapur had said in a fiery speech after being elected the chief executive of KP. Speaking on the floor of the lower house of the Parliament today, Bilawal said he endorsed Gandapur’s demand. But at the same time, he stated that the result should be accepted by everyone, including the Imran-led party. “It is not possible that someone attacks our institution and th...
