Going into the 2025-26 season opener against the Washington Capitals, there were a lot of questions facing the Boston Bruins. It was a tough opener against a team that won 51 games last season and a team that has some serious offensive firepower.
For one night, the Bruins stars showed up and showed out, from Jeremy Swayman all the way out to the forwards. There are going to be a lot of nights where the Bruins are going to have to win ugly games, and that was the case in a 3-1 win over the Capitals at Capital One Arena for first-year coach Marco Sturm's first win as an NHL head coach.
