    End of Bruins veteran's scoring drought could give team a huge lift

    Given the choice James van Riemsdyk would have made this trade. If he was given the option of going 21 straight games over two months without a goal so he could score one big one for the Bruins in the playoffs? “I'd like to think I was saving them for the playoffs,” he said smiling. Van Riemsdyk, who regularly scored 15-20 goals a year earlier in his career with Philadelphia and Toronto, didn't score in his last 20 regular season games for Boston, which included a stretch when he was weakened by illness.

    James van Riemsdyk and Pastrnak scored for the Bruins, who are the No. 2 seed from the Atlantic Division. “What went into the decision (to play Swayman again over Linus Ullmark) was we rotated the first two games and then Swayman played so well, we were going to go with the hot hand,” Boston coach Jim Montgomery said. Mitch Marner scored for the Maple Leafs, who are the No. 3 seed from the Atlantic.

    Rangers' Matt Rempe is in the spotlight again after his hit on Capitals' Trevor van Riemsdyk

    Matt Rempe, the New York Rangers' 6-foot-8 rookie who took the NHL by storm in recent months as a fighter and fan favorite, is back in the spotlight at playoff time. Rempe laid out Washington Capitals defenseman Trevor van Riemsdyk with a big hit in Game 3 Friday night, one that drew a two-minute minor penalty but nothing more as far as on-ice retribution or off-ice punishment. The 21-year-old defended his actions Saturday, while debate swirled about whether the check that injured van Riemsdyk should have warranted something more from officials or the league office. “My job's to finish hits there,” Rempe said.
