Mohns May Be First In Many Years to Rack Up 20 Goals Playing Defense
BOSTON, Mass.—Doug Mohns may score goals for the Bruins at a record pace this season—if he remains a defenseman.

After one week’s action Caron was at the top of the scoring race and Munger was right behind him in second place. Ramblers lost seven of last year’s players, among whom were goalie-coach Jacques Monette and high scoring Frank “Danky” Dorrington, but their…
