NEWARK, New Jersey (AP) – Patrice Bergeron scored the game-winning goal with 4:08 left in the third period to lift the Boston Bruins to a 3-1 victory over the New Jersey Devils on Wednesday night. Boston moved to 28-4-3, thanks to goals from Trent Frederic and Pavel Zacha. Linus Ullmark came up with 26 saves.
"It's almost like you grow accustomed to it," Bergeron said of Ullmark's 20th win of the season. "But you don't want to do that... We have a strong defensive unit. And I believe you must continue." New Jersey's Vitek Vanecek made 24 saves as the team slipped to 22-111-2. For the Devils, Nico Hischier scored.
"We did everything we spoke about," Erik Haula stated. "You have to play 60 minutes, especially when we we play against the greatest clubs in the league. You are susceptible if you do not play 60 minutes every day. And we must correct this. "Like right now." Bergeron scored his 14th goal of the season after tipping Lindholm's shot past Vancek.
"There aren't (enough) words to describe Bergeron," Bruins coach Jim Montgomery said. That is a lofty objective. Not everyone visits such difficult locations. That's why he won. That's why he has 1,000 points. That's why he's our commander-in-chief."
With New Jersey behind 1-0 in the third period, Hischier knotted the game at 6:11 with his 14th goal of the season. The captain of the New Jersey Devils drove to the net and deflected Fabian Zetterlund's centering pass past Ullmark.
Despite being outplayed for the most of the first two periods, the Bruins scored first. With his sixth goal of the season, Frederic gave the Bruins a 1-0 lead 8:57 into the second period. The Bruins launched an offensive only minutes after extinguishing a New Jersey power play. Lindholm intercepted a clearing effort and skated down the center of the ice before passing to Frederic, who sent a fast shot past Vanecek from the high slot.
"When you take care of the process, the outcomes follow," Bergeron explained. "It's all about the process and the details for me. That's just who we are. That, I believe, is our identity. We must concentrate and pay close attention to details."
NOTES: Prior to the game, the Devils announced defensemen Ryan Graves and John Marino were placed on injured reserve, retroactive to Dec. 21 and Dec. 20, respectively. In the corresponding roster move, right wing Tyce Thompson and defenseman Tyler Wotherspoon were recalled from AHL Utica. Wotherspoon was a healthy scratch, along with left wing Alexander Holtz and right wing Andreas Johnsson. ... Devils defenseman Damon Severson played in his 600th NHL game. … Boston went 0-for-3 with a man advantage and killed both New Jersey power plays. …Third line left wing Taylor Hall was booed by the 16,514 in attendance every time he touched the puck. Hall spent parts of four seasons with New Jersey, including 2017-18 in which he won the Hart Trophy and led the Devils to the franchise’s first playoff berth since 2011-12.
