They dropped the puck for the 92nd season on Causeway Street Thursday night before a 255th consecutive sellout crowd of anxious Black-and-Gold stalwarts. Anxious about how this season might evolve with the many changes, first off, and then, on the ice during the offseason.
After jumping out to a 1-0 lead on a David Krejci goal at 5:46 of the first period, the Bruins dropped the ball when the Jets tallied the equalizer at 5:26 of the second. Old-friend Blake Wheeler put Winnipeg in front, 2-1, at 9:17; Drew Stafford upped it to 3-1 at 17:39. David Pastrnak would get Boston to within one early in the third before the visitors fired back with two more and an empty-netter in the 6-2 debacle.
