BOSTON (AP) — It didn’t take very long for the Boston Bruins to wash away the sting of last season’s disappointing finish on home ice.
Tuukka Rask stopped 31 shots in his 46th career shutout, leading the Bruins to a 3-0 victory over the New Jersey Devils to win their home opener on Saturday night.
Brad Marchand, Joakim Nordstrom and Patrice Bergeron all scored in the Bruins’ first home game since losing 4-1 in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final against the St. Louis Blues in June.
“It’s behind us — we’ve got a new year,” Bruins center Sean Kuraly said.
