The Bruins pledge to bring a hard-hat approach to their power play.
“A big thing we talked about today that was kind of lacking the last two playoff years and all of last year was outworking the penalty killers. Not letting the penalty killers outwork our power play,” Lucic said. “The mentality has to be, ‘We’re going to go out there and we’re going to outwork teams.’ Not, ‘OK, let’s hope they don’t outwork us.’ It’s, ‘We’re going to go out there and do it.’ We’ve got to outnumber them when there are battles. We’ve got to make the pass while it’s there. We’ve got to make the shot while it’s there.”

All tickets for Tuesday’s scrimmage at TD Garden have been distributed. The team will recall players from Providence to give it enough bodies for a full game . . . The Bruins will not print tickets for season ticket-holders. Tickets will be available online only for printing . . . Unless there are changes, Bourque and Hamilton will make their Boston debuts Saturday against the Rangers.
