Fraser Minten shines as late surge lifts the Bruins past the Rangers 3-0

The Boston Bruins secured a 3-0 victory over the New York Rangers in their season opener on Tuesday night, with Fraser Minten breaking a scoreless tie just over four minutes from the end. JJ Peterka added another goal, and an empty-netter by Mark Kastelic sealed the win. Minten's three goals came within a 75-second span, extending the Bruins' streak of 11 consecutive home opener wins.

Jeremy Swayman made 24 saves for Boston, his 19th career shutout, while Igor Shesterkin had 20 saves for New York. Elias and Hampus Lindholm assisted on Minten's goal, while Minten and Marat Khusnutdinov assisted Kastelic. Despite outshooting the Rangers 24-23, the Bruins' aggressive play ultimately paid off. The Rangers, who finished last in the Eastern Conference, are hoping to improve following a series of offseason roster changes.
