Charlie Coyle has become accustomed to his position as the Boston Bruins’ top-line center and has risen to the occasion with each successive shift.
With four goals and eight assists over an eight-game scoring run, Coyle has proven himself as a dependable offensive player and one of the team’s best penalty-killing forwards.
In his second season in the bench, Coyle’s personal growth has been even more evident, according to head coach Jim Montgomery of the Boston Bruins.
Montgomery told reporters, “I see someone that wants to take over and control games,” according to the team. Nevertheless, his attitude has also changed. You can see his confidence and swagger right away.
According to Coyle, he has always made an effort to play morally for the club and for his career.
According to the team, Coyle told reporters, “The more you contribute, the more confidence grows and you just keep riding that.” “I always just tried to play the correct way and do it for the team. I play with some good players and linemates, so you just have to hope that you are rewarded for playing the right way. You hope they reward the team for their efforts. That is the primary concern.
This season, Coyle has tallied 18 goals and 24 assists for a total of 41 points in 49 games. Three goals separate him from his career high. With the way he has been playing for the Bruins, it seems unlikely that he won’t surpass his past performance this year.
“It’s a satisfying feeling to be contributing out there on the ice, finishing plays or creating plays and creating opportunities.”
And that was something I wasn’t supposed to keep getting better at. It involves striking a balance between playing the correct play and seizing the chance to hold onto the puck for an extra second or find an alternate play.
The Boston Bruins will take ten days off before hosting the Calgary Flames at TD Garden on February 6. Coyle has 10 points in his career versus the Flames.
