Tonight will be the sixth time that Byron Bitz serves as Marc
Savard’s right-hand man on the Bruins’ No. 1 line, with
the aim being a little crisper execution against Montreal than they
showed against the Lightning Wednesday.
“I thought Bitzy had an average night, to be honest with
you,’’ said coach Claude Julien. “It wasn’t
his best game, mostly because he didn’t seem to have some
jump. That seems to happen once in a while.
“Having said that, I think he’s been pretty good
there. He’s been smart. He’s been going to the net.
He’s created a lot of things for that line. He’s strong
in his own end, getting the puck out along the boards, and going on
the attack.
