Bruins shut out Rangers 3-0 in season opener
NHL.com reports three late Boston goals and 24 saves by Jeremy Swayman.
Boston beat the New York Rangers 3-0 at TD Garden in the season opener for both teams, according to NHL.com's report published on September 30. The game took place on Tuesday, September 29.
The league report says the Bruins scored three times in a span of one minute and 15 seconds late in the third period. Fraser Minten, JJ Peterka and Mark Kastelic supplied the goals, with Kastelic's coming into an empty net.
Jeremy Swayman made 24 saves for the shutout. The saves and the 3-0 final describe different sides of the performance: the team score records the goals, while the goaltender's total records stopped shots.
The account is a completed-game report, not a forecast for Boston's season. One opening result cannot establish a final standings position or a guarantee about the next fixture. ScoreZaap keeps that distinction clear rather than extending the win into an unsupported trend.
