Recap: Bruins score early, clamp down late to win the opener, 2-1

Brett Ritchie gets things started for the Bruins, scoring his first Bruins goal on his first shot, just over a minute into the game. 1-0 Bruins.

Danton Heinen keeps the good times rolling with a wicked shot to beat Ben Bishop later in the first period. 2-0 Bruins.

A scary moment midway through the second, as Roman Polak goes hard into the boards and ends up getting taken off on a stretcher.

Shortly after the Polak injury, Roope Hintz uses his speed to take advantage of a bad line change to cut the lead to 2-1 Bruins.
