Fraser Minten

Minten's line on Tuesday showed real production, with two goals and four shots in a season-high 18:41. That ice time sits three minutes above his recent average of 15:31 a night, and his four shots more than doubled his usual 1.5 per game. He also contributed two hits, two blocks and a plus-4 rating in the win.

The two-point night stands out against his recent rate of 0.40 points a night, split between 0.24 goals and 0.16 assists. He skates on the second power-play unit and averages 1:01 of power-play time, 10th among all Bruins skaters. His underlying play grades 35 out of 100 among forwards, suggesting this scoring pace will be hard to repeat. Stream Minten for Friday and Saturday if you need a short-term fill-in, but expect him to settle back toward his usual production level.
