Patrice Bergeron has scored 46 goals in his playoff career, which ties him with Phil Esposito for second most in Bruins franchise history. Only Cam Neely (55 goals) has scored more.

David Pastrnak's hat trick is the 25th in Bruins playoff history. He becomes the fifth Bruin to have multiple hat tricks in the playoffs:

Phil Esposito: 4
Johnny Bucyk: 3
Cam Neely: 3
David Krejci: 2
David Pastrnak: 2

Last time the Bruins started a season with an OT/SO win? October 8, 1992 - a 3-2 overtime win against the Hartford Whalers.

@MutWEEI Figured I'm due for a tweet or two on opening night!

[Michael Berger @MichaelSBerger]

This is the first time since the 2003-04 season that the Bruins have had their regular season opener to go overtime (a 3-3 tie against the Devils on October 8, 2003).

Patriots WRs passing stats in 2020: 3 for 3, 62 yards, 1 TD, 158.3 passer rating (perfect rating)

- Julian Edelman: 2 for 2, 38 yards, 118.8 passer rating

- Jakobi Meyers: 1 for 1, 24 yards, 1 TD, 158.3 passer rating (perfect rating)

@Mae4545 He wasn't on the ice for the first TB goal (Carlo and Krug were on) but he was for the other two.

Despite what you just heard on NBCSN, the Bruins have a 28-2 record when Marchand scores, not 18-2.

[Michael Berger @MichaelSBerger]

This marks Brad Marchand's 5th career multi-goal game in his playoff career.

Previous games (all two-goal performances):
4/21/19 at TOR
6/3/13 at PIT
6/15/11 at VAN
4/30/11 at PHI

If the Bruins hold on to win Game 1, they'll improve to a ridiculous 28-2 record (.933 winning percentage) when Brad Marchand scores in a playoff game.

[Michael Berger @MichaelSBerger]

Bruins improve to 27-2 (.931 winning percentage) all-time in the Stanley Cup Playoffs when Brad Marchand scores a goal.

[Michael Berger @MichaelSBerger]

Make it 25-2.

Boston's Game 2 loss to Carolina marks the first time since April 21, 2012 (4-3 loss to the Caps in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals) that the Bruins lost a playoff game in which Brad Marchand scored a goal.

[Michael Berger @MichaelSBerger]

The Bruins are 25-1 all-time in the Stanley Cup Playoffs when Brad Marchand scores a goal.

[Michael Berger @MichaelSBerger]

@77boston The loss from the 25-1 Marchand stat came back in their series against the Caps in 2012: https://t.co/H4TI1bttCH

They're 25-5 overall when Krejci has scored in the playoffs.

[Michael Berger @MichaelSBerger]

N'Keal Harry becomes the 75th different player to catch a touchdown pass thrown by Tom Brady in the regular season.

[Michael Berger @MichaelSBerger]

Tonight marks the fifth time in Patriots franchise history that they have had two receivers (Edelman and Sanu) with 10 or more receptions.

First time it's happened since Edelman (13) and Amendola (10) did it at Miami on December 15, 2013.

[Michael Berger @MichaelSBerger]

Mohamed Sanu becomes the 74th different player to catch a TD pass from Tom Brady in the regular season.

Patriots improve to 25-1 all-time when Devin McCourty has an interception (includes playoffs).
