Three games into the season, and the Boston Bruins are 3-0-0. Wins over the Washington Capitals, Chicago Blackhawks, and the Buffalo Sabres have not always been pretty, but not much will be pretty in 2025-26. First-year coach Marco Sturm's style and system will make for a lot of close games that will take nearly the entire 60 minutes, or more, if the Black and Gold are going to win.
That has been the case in all three wins. An overtime win over the Blackhawks has been between a pair of 3-1 wins over the Capitals and Sabres that needed an empty-net goal to seal the victory.
