For just the third time since 1970, and for the first time since 1990, the Boston Bruins have kicked off the new season with four straight victories.
And this one required just about everything the Bruins had in the tank, from Jeremy Swayman’s 32 saves to what was yet another monstrous effort from Boston’s penalty kill. The latter was especially strong in a game where they needed to be, too, as the Black and Gold killed off all five penalties against before a garbage-time goal with 70 seconds left in the game put the Kings on the board with a power-play goal in what finished as a 4-2 win for Jim Montgomery’s squad.
