Coyle assisted on two goals by Brad Marchand in the third period, as the Bruins scored four unanswered goals to even the best-of-seven series at two games apiece. He has one goal and three helpers in his past two appearances after going scoreless in the first two matches of the 2022 Stanley Cup Playoffs. 

Coyle's goal was a big one as he scored shorthanded and tied the game at 1 in the first period. He also had an assist on the eventual game-winner from Brad Marchand on the power play. The points were Coyle's first two of the playoffs after he was shut out in the first two games of the series, both in Raleigh. 

It was a big night for the Bruins center who has two goals and nine points in his last six games, giving him 14 goals and 22 helpers in 62 games to date. He is becoming fantasy worthy of late.

Coyle is centering the third line for the Bruins and scored a big goal, his 14th of the season as linemate Craig Smith had the opening two goals. “It’s not all the time where I think shot, but I should,” Coyle said. “It’s a tie game, right? So you want to make the appropriate play that’s given. On the other hand, Smitty has two goals, right? So you have to play hockey. There were no passing lanes [open], so I wanted to take it to the net and create a rebound if anything, maybe Smitty puts it home. But I got a little lucky with the placement.” Coyle has 32 points in 59 games and is currently on a three-game points streak with two goals and five points.
