That focus on the little things has a trickle down effect, making coach Bruce Cassidy's job that much easier.
"Bergy's going to lead," said Cassidy. "He's been around this league a long time. Marchy's growing into that. The guy that's become more of a leader is Pasta in his all-around game. He's very responsible.
"I see it with Jake [DeBrusk] more now, Danton [Heinen] last year, and now we need to bring it more into [Ryan] Donato's game and [Anders] Bjork's game. And they're going to watch a guy like Pasta because that's who they'd like to be in a couple of years, a guy that can score on a regular basis.
"But watch [Pastrnak] play the 200-foot game and the trust he's earned from a coach and his teammates. So, that's the one that I've noticed the biggest improvement"
Pastrnak's two goals and two assists in Monday's victory matched Bergeron's four points, making them the first pair of Bruins to compile four or more points in a home opener.
"It's one of those things that's kind of not necessarily always part of my game or something you see often," Bergeron said of his four-point night. "But they're definitely nice to have…one was a lucky bounce and great plays on the first two [goals] by Pasta and Marchy."
Boston's top triumvirate set the tone early when they connected on Bergeron's first tally just 30 seconds into the game. Bergeron added another goal on the power play late in the opening frame, before the alternate captain finished off his hat trick just 4:38 into the third to extend the Bruins' lead back to two goals. From beginning to end, it was a commanding performance.
"Really important," Bergeron said of the strong start. "Also, we stuck with it. It wasn't pretty at all times, we had some sloppy plays and the ice conditions were a little - you know sometimes the puck was bouncing left and right. We talked about keeping things simple and you know kind of going back to playing the right way.
"We got rewarded in the third. I thought we played a lot better and had some really good chances and, like I said, we stuck with it and now we can move forward to the next game."
But before completely shifting the focus to Thursday night's tilt with Edmonton, there is time to appreciate a bit more what Bergeron means to the Boston Bruins - not that anyone really needs a refresher.
"I've been impressed with everything Bergy does," said Cassidy, "to be honest with you."
