Bruins coach Claude Julien made it clear that he wanted young forward Phil Kessel to play hard every game.

Kessel, benched by Julien during last year's playoff series against Montreal and a subject of trade rumors at this season's deadline, scored his 30th goal of the season in Boston's 2-1 win over the New York Islanders on Saturday.
