BOSTON — Charlie Coyle scored a pair of third-period goals, stealing the spotlight from fellow Boston University product Macklin Celebrini in his first game at the TD Garden as an NHL player and leading the Bruins to a 6-3 victory over San Jose on Monday. It was Boston’s 14th straight victory over the Sharks.

The Bruins cruised to a 6-3 victory over the San Jose Sharks on Monday, January 20th, handing the Sharks their third consecutive loss at TD Garden. Charlie Coyle fueled the victory with a pair of goals,

It had been 10 games since Charlie Coyle last scored a goal, and he picked the perfect time to break the drought. With two goals in the third period, Coyle helped lead a comeback effort for the Boston Bruins on Monday afternoon that ended in a 6-3 win over the San Jose Sharks at TD Garden.

Will Smith came home to Boston with a goal and an assist in one of the best games of his young career. Fabian Zetterlund and Barclay Goodrow also scored for the Sharks, who have lost three straight. Yaroslav Askarov returned from an illness and made 27 saves.

The lead lasted all of 55 seconds. The B’s top line got hemmed in its own end for much of the shift and, after it finally pushed it out of the zone, the players got caught in a change. On a Sabre 4-on-3, Matt Poitras got lost out high and Dylan Cozens connected with the wide-open trailer Thompson, who ripped a slapper past Swayman.

For this matchup against the Sabres, the Bruins' forward group will be getting a boost. This is because forward Cole Koepke will be back in the lineup after missing each of the Bruins' last five games.

The Boston Bruins are set to face off against the Colorado Avalanche on Jan. 25. They will look to stay hot after picking up a big 2-0 win against the Ottawa Senators on Jan. 23.
