Second Round Pick Khokhlachev Scores Twice in Black and White Game


Bruins hockey is back, as they held their annual Black and White game last night in Providence.

The Black team beat the White team 4-1 at the Dunkin Donuts Center. The split-squad scrimmage gave some of the younger B's a chance to showcase their talents both in front of the organization and the Providence fans, where most of the participants will be playing for the Providence Bruins (their top minor league affiliate) this winter.

Alexander Khokhlachev scored twice for the Black team in his Bruins debut. The second round pick from Russia made a great impression on his new team, adding to goals by Daniel Paille and Lane MacDermid for the Black team. Ryan Spooner scored the only goal for the White team.

Tim Thomas and Tuukka Rask both started the game and each let in a goal before being removed midway through the second period.

The one negative came when Joe Corvo left the game with an injury described as a "lower body injury". The team has listed the new Bruins defenseman as day-to-day.

The Bruins' preseason kicks off tonight in Ottawa at 7:30.
