Bruins takeaways: Matthew Poitras stamps NHL roster spot as preseason wraps

The Bruins closed out their preseason slate on Thursday night with a 3-1 win over the Rangers in New York.

It was a sluggish start for the Bruins, who only landed one shot on goal in the opening 20 minutes. But Boston heated up as the game carried on, with Charlie Coyle, Matthew Poitras, and A.J. Greer lighting the lamp en route to the victory at Madison Square Garden.

Jeremy Swayman played the entire game for the Bruins, stopping 22 of the 23 shots that came his way in the win.

Here are a few takeaways and observations from Thursday’s road matchup.
