Coming off their worst loss of the season Tuesday at TD Garden against old friend Milan Lucic and his Los Angeles Kings, the Bruins desperately needed a convincing win Thursday night in Winnipeg, the first of a season-high six straight on the road.

After a back-and-forth first period, the Bruins settled down very nicely en route to a 6-2 victory over the Jets. With the trade deadline just over two weeks away, this road trip could be the deciding factor in whether or not the Bruins become buyers or sellers at the deadline.

Thursday’s win saw contributions from many different faces and all around was a solid effort for the Bruins. Here are a few things that we learned from the Bruins’ 29th win of the season.

Bergeron leads the way

Patrice Bergeron leading his team to victory shouldn’t surprise you. Ever. But it wasn’t just his goals that carried the team last night.

Bergeron dropped the gloves with former teammate Blake Wheeler in what was his fourth career National Hockey League fight (including regular season and playoffs). To go along with the fight, Bergeron scored two big goals.

Anytime Bergeron drops the gloves; you know the team notices. Bergeron did sit out for a pretty lengthy stretch in the third after his fight. The longest-tenured Bruin tallied just 14:25 of ice time in the win.

Bergeron line dominates

You know what you’re going to get from Bergeron and Brad Marchand each night as the two continue to score at will, but it’s the third member of that line that, despite Marchand and Bergeron’s stellar seasons, continues to struggle. Thursday in Winnipeg, however, the Jets had no answer for Marchand, Bergeron and Brett Connolly as the trio combined for eight points and easily could have had a handful more.

Offense steps up outside of Bergeron line.

Take away the three combined tallies by Bergeron and Marchand and the Bruins still had themselves a decent night offensively. Goals by David Pastrnak, Loui Eriksson and Jimmy Hayes helped the Bruins pad their lead and helped propel them to a much-needed win. The offense was clicking on all cylinders Thursday night, a good sign for the Bruins who continue to battle in the ever tight Eastern Conference playoff race.

Marchand not slowing down

Eleven goals in his last eleven games. Not bad, eh?

Marchand was arguably the Bruins’ best player last night from start to finish. His determination with the puck on Bergeron’s first goal was a thing of beauty. Marchand followed it up a goal of his own not too long after Bergeron’s tally.

The 27-year-old winger has 26 goals on the season and should easily exceed 30 goals for the first time in his career.
