Coming off of a dramatic overtime victory in Dallas, the Boston Bruins entered Music City and rolled over the Nashville Predators in a 5-0 thumping.
Behind another productive offensive night throughout the lineup and a stellar goaltending performance from Jeremy Swayman, the Bruins regained their edge to cap off a perfect 2-0 mark on their two-game siblings’ trip.
Just shy of three minutes into the opening frame, a fortunate and emphatic bounce off the end boards in Boston’s zone sprang Brad Marchand up the ice. A patented give-and-go between Marchand and Patrice Bergeron gave the left-winger enough room to rifle a shot past Predators goaltender Juuse Saros for Boston’s first goal of the night.
