BOSTON — With the Bruins’ big win against Tampa Bay on Thursday and Toronto coming to town on Tuesday, Saturday’s matinee against the New York Islanders had all the makings of a trap game.
But the B’s, apparently, are beyond such pedestrian hockey pitfalls these days.
Despite the fact the Islanders — 7-1-1 in the previous nine — were looking a lot closer to the team that vanquished the home team in six games last spring, the Bruins made road kill out of them at TD Garden. Six different players hit the scoresheet and the Bruins used a four-goal second period to rout the Islanders for a convincing 6-3 win. Five Bruins recorded multi-point games as the team nabbed its seventh win in eight games.
