Amid the Bruins’ 3-2 season-opening win over the Devils on Thursday in a shootout, one subplot drew attention in postgame discussion.
New Jersey winger Miles Wood was called for two interference penalties that he made against Boston goaltender Tuukka Rask.
And both times Wood was in the penalty box, the Bruins took full advantage with a pair of power-play goals. Given the tight margin of the game, Wood’s mistakes drew attention.
The 25-year-old explained that the plays were not intentional.
“That was not my intention to take him out,” Wood said of Rask.
