BOSTON - Brad Marchand notched a goal and two assists and David Krejci added a goal and a helper to pace the Bruins to a 4-1 victory over the San Jose Sharks on Tuesday night at TD Garden.
Jake DeBrusk also chipped in his 20th goal of the season and Jaroslav Halak made 19 saves for his fourth straight win as Boston broke through with three second-period goals to extend its points streak to 14 games.
"At this time of the year, just focusing game by game," said Krejci. "Obviously we know where we are at in the standings, and that's where we want to be, but we know that it's going to be a battle. Hockey in March is one of the hardest months of the season so we'll take it game by game."
