Anthony Travalgia: David Backes steps up as Bruins beat Canadiens David Backes had a two-point night as the Bruins won in Montreal 3-2.

Solid win. Love to see every guy on this roster stepping up in light of the injuries.

Have to Agree, Very Good and Physical Weekend for the Bruins. Miller & Backes stepped up BIGTIME, Accari-Kuraly-Krug-Wagner-Clifton All these guys contributed to the weekend Points with their physical play.

YUP that's right Krug. give him credit he is involved in every scrum on the Ice. Love him for that. I'm sure his teammates do as well.

on a Defensive Note. The more I see of Clifton the more I like the future D.

With Lauzon and Clifton playing NHL minutes I dont see any reason you can't see what Carlo and a Bjork/JFK package can get you right now ??

It was a great game. especially the way it ended.

Defense is loaded up for a reason. Would also like to see a move made with some youth and one of the major contracts of Krejci, Backes or Rask.

Backes is a natural born captain
