Monday and are now fifth in the Atlantic Division. But there's some players who need to contribute more to the team's success, especially Charlie Coyle.

BOSTON (AP) — Charlie Coyle scored a pair of third-period goals, stealing the spotlight from fellow Boston University product Macklin Celebrini in his first game back at the TD Garden as an NHLer and leading the Bruins to a victory over San Jose. It was Boston’s 14th straight victory over the Sharks.

Coyle didn't have a goal in 10 outings entering Monday's matchup. He had only two assists and nine shots on net during that span. Thanks to Monday's offensive outburst, Coyle has 12 tallies and 18 points through 48 appearances this season.

After losing in crushing defeat to the Ottawa Senators on Saturday afternoon, the Boston Bruins returned home to TD Garden to host the San Jose Sharks on Monday.

This week Carl Rushworth was recalled from his loan by Brighton & Hove Albion. An injury to Jason Steele means the England under-21 international will be providing cover to Bart Verbruggen. Left-back Ryan Giles meanwhile has left the club on a temporary basis, returning to promotion chasing Middlesbrough.

The Boston Bruins, for most of Don Sweeney’s almost 10 years as general manager, have had a clear objective ahead of the NHL trade deadline. Buy. The Bruins’ problem for much of the last eight years hasn’t been whether they could qualify for the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
