Garnet Hathaway has quickly become a fan favorite since arriving in Boston at the Trade Deadline, and judging by his past, will be crucial for the Bruins in the playoffs.
Coming Up Clutch
Ty Anderson of 98.5 The Sports Hub pointed out that Hathaway has been know stranger to coming up big against the best teams, which is exactly what you need from a depth player in the postseason.
As per Anderson:
Something I found interesting Hathaway vs. TB: 2-2-4, 27 hits in 11GP vs. NYR: 6-4-10, 45 hits in 18GP vs. CAR: 2-4-6, 31 hits in 14 GP.
Very solid production for bottom-sixer, physical presence against some teams you may have to go through on path.
Hathaway scored again the Lightning this afternoon, as well, improving to 3 goals and 2 assists in 15 games while skating on the Bruins fourth line.
