It didn’t take long for the Boston Bruins to return to their winning ways.
Powered by an energetic two-goal first period, Bruce Cassidy’s squad fought and clawed its way to a tight 2-1 opening night victory over the Dallas Stars.
It wasn’t perfect by any means, but the Bruins couldn’t have asked for a much better start to the 2019 campaign after taking down a perennial postseason squad on the first leg of a four-game road trip.
Brett Ritchie and Danton Heinen provided the offense with a pair of first-period tallies to spark the Bruins in the first 20.
