Overview

• Pavel Zacha opened the scoring off Jordan Harris’s feed in the defenseman’s Bruins debut, with Harris stepping in for injured Hampus Lindholm.
• Mark Kastelic scored the second-period winner, and Sean Kuraly added an empty-net goal to close out the victory.
• Jeremy Swayman stopped 21 of 22 shots, yielding only a third-period tally credited to Jason Zucker after a deflection off Andrew Peeke.
• Boston’s penalty kill went 3-for-3 and is flawless through three games at 12-for-12, reflecting the aggressive structure emphasized by coach Marco Sturm.
• The Bruins limited Buffalo to one shot on goal in the first period and finished with a 31-22 edge, and now face the Lightning before a western swing to the Golden Knights, Avalanche and Utah Mammoth.
