Not even the second leg of a back-to-back against a rested opponent could slow the Bruins down Thursday night at Madison Square Garden. Instead it was more of the same from the Bruins, who outright refused to give the Blueshirts much of anything at either end of the rink in what finished as a 3-1 win for Jim Montgomery’s squad.
The Bruins’ Jeremy Swayman was the star of the show in this contest, too, with a 31-save performance that saw Swayman come just 4:23 away from what would’ve been his second straight shutout performance.
With the win, the Bruins pushed their win streak to four games, and have now won 36 of their 45 games on the season, and improved to a perfect 14-0-0 against the Metropolitan Division this season.
