Factor in Marc Savard and the recent surge of David Krejci and you have the formula for a first place team.
But hey, the Penguins beat them in a 2-1 shootout back on October ...

How do we know? Well, the photo was taken following a collision between Carolina's Dennis Seidenberg and Bergeron in late December, with the Bruins' forward initiating the contact. Here's the clip:
