Through the first three games, the Boston Bruins remain searching for an elusive 60-minute effort.
Despite encountering their share of mishaps, they’ve earned positive results in two of those first three tilts.
Unlike their first two games against the Panthers and Canadiens, the Bruins sometimes struggled to create quality scoring chances during Saturday’s matinee with the Los Angeles Kings. But stout goaltending from Jeremy Swayman and another productive outing from the third and fourth lines kept Boston afloat.
Despite giving up the opening tally for the third straight game — on a Trevor Moore tally at the goal mouth at 5:22 of the second frame — the Bruins persevered to earn two hard-fought points behind Elias Lindholm’s equalizer and David Pastrnak’s overtime winner.
