A home afternoon contest following a four-game road trip that spanned three different time zones often lends itself to disappointment.
The Bruins bucked that trend on Monday, handling the New Jersey Devils to earn a 3-0 victory following their Western Conference swing.
In his third consecutive start, Jeremy Swayman pitched a 31-save shutout, his third perfect outing of the season. Brad Marchand and David Pastrnak both posted multi-point outings during Monday’s matinee.
Despite dominating the opening 20 minutes, the Black and Gold could not solve Nico Daws on any of their first 16 shots on net.
