On Sunday, as one of his first orders of business with his new team, Rich Peverley approached Steven Kampfer. The 28-year-old Peverley had worn No. 47 in Atlanta. Kampfer, a Bruins rookie, has claimed No. 47 since training camp. Per hockey etiquette, it would have been expected of Kampfer to hunt for a new number.
Instead, Peverley told Kampfer he didn’t want him to change his number, and Peverley chose No. 49 for himself.
It was just one of the steps Peverley has been taking since last Friday to incorporate himself into his new life as a Bruin. On Sunday and Monday, he ran through his first practices with the team. Last night, he played in first game as a Bruin, skating alongside Chris Kelly and Michael Ryder on the third line against the Flames.
