The Bruins got a pair of much-needed wins over the Flyers and Kraken this weekend. Here's what we learned from those games.

in Carolina. This past weekend offered the B's a chance to get back on track with two matchups versus lesser-talented opponents, and the Original Six club took advantage.

Players like Pastrnak are going to rank among the leaders in turnovers. They have the puck a lot. The top 10 players in giveaways last season included Pastrnak, Nikita Kucherov, Leon Draisaitl, Connor McDavid and Nathan MacKinnon, among other elite scorers. But at the same time, puck possession is super important. Being too careless with the puck is a problem.

“We all play on the same team,” Coyle told reporters, per McLaughlin. “There’s no special treatment for anyone. I think that’s how it should be. I think we all take responsibility. You ask any one of us who have been in that position who’ve gotten an earful or whatever, it’s probably for a good reason.

"I think the last two nights, Charlie Coyle has been moving his feet," Montgomery told reporters postgame Sunday."When he moves his feet, he creates turnovers and takes pucks to the net, like that play on the penalty kill where he ended up on a partial breakaway."Jeremy Swayman and Joonas Korpisalo weren't among the top five or seven most disappointing players through the Bruins' first 11 games, but they did need to play better, particularly Swayman.

A two-game sample isn't enough to say the Bruins goaltending is back to being elite, but it's definitely a step in the right direction after a tough start to the campaign. The last time the B's pitched a shutout on consecutive days was Oct. 27-28, 2008.The Bruins have been falling behind early in games this season, and that's a tough way to play, especially for a team that is having trouble scoring at 5-on-5.
