“I called those guys out for a reason, and they just needed a poke,” Sturm said after the game on Tuesday. “That’s all. And knowing Arvi very well, he’s a guy who takes it very seriously, who takes it to the heart, too.
“I (knew) he was going to have a good night. They played to our identity, let’s put it that way. That was Bruins hockey right from the start to finish.”
Arviddson knew he and his linemates had to be more aggressive and chip in offensively, which they did.
