NHL Daily: Bruins Rally at Fenway; Flyers Conquer Cali.; Isles Trade Talk

In a classic entrance, the Boston Bruins got off their team’s bus Monday and entered Fenway Park dressed as the Boston Red Sox. Really. (See video.)

They then won a pitchers’ duel over the fading Pittsburgh Pirates, , uh, Penguins, 2-1, in the Winter Classic.

That highlighted the NHL’s abbreviated schedule, which included the Philadelphia Flyers’ methodical 4-1 win in Anaheim, giving the Orange and Black their first three-game road sweep of the California teams in franchise history.

Meanwhile, the New York Islanders need to add a winger (Timo Meier? James van Riemsdyk?) to replace the injured Oliver Wahlstrom.
