The Bruins demolished the Devils 8-1 on Thursday. Five Boston players finished the night with multiple points in the game. North Billerica native Marc McLaughlin scored in his NHL debut.
The Bruins also honored recently retired goaltender Tuukka Rask with a ceremonial puck drop prior to the game.
Rask’s advice to Jeremy Swayman: With the 35-year-old Rask stepping aside, 23-year-old Jeremy Swayman will continue to get his chance alongside fellow Bruins goaltender Linus Ullmark.
Rask, speaking to reporters prior to his ceremonial puck drop on Thursday, said that he looks forward to helping Swayman even though his planned comeback — which lasted four games in 2022 before his retirement — didn’t work out.
