Lettieri scored a goal on three shots and added two hits in Saturday's 6-5 shootout loss to the Senators. Lettieri was able to bend the twine in his second NHL appearance of the season. The 29-year-old has slotted into a middle-six role for the Bruins and will likely stay in the lineup while Cole Koepke (upper body) is on injured reserve.
Vinni Lettieri scored the first Bruins goal, and Brad Marchand and Elias Lindholm added empty netters for Boston.
BOSTON (AP) — Charlie Coyle scored a pair of third-period goals, stealing the spotlight from fellow Boston University product Macklin Celebrini in his first game back at the TD Garden as an NHLer and leading the Bruins to a victory over San Jose. It was Boston’s 14th straight victory over the Sharks.
