Benoit Pouliot is enjoying a four-game point streak. Pouliot has settled into the third line on a deep Bruins team. He's capable of chipping in offensively, as he proved recently, but the Bruins are also relying on him to protect the puck and offer a physical presence. He's more than capable of doing that with his 6-foot-3, roughly 200 pound frame. He has 43 hits in 29 games this season, despite getting just 11:01 minutes of playing time per contest.
