Fraser Minten shines as late surge lifts the Bruins past the Rangers 3-0
The three goals, over a 75-second span helped the Bruins extend their streak to 11 consecutive wins in home openers.
The Boston Bruins secured a 3-0 victory over the New York Rangers in their season opener at TD Garden on Tuesday night. Fraser Minten, who recently signed a new seven-year deal, broke the scoreless tie with just over four minutes remaining and added additional goals in quick succession, assisted by Elias and Hampus Lindholm. Mark Kastelic secured the third goal with an empty-netter.
Jeremy Swayman made 24 saves for Boston, his 19th career shutout, while Igor Shesterkin had 20 saves for New York. Despite outshooting the Bruins 24-23, the Rangers struggled throughout the game, with Boston being more aggressive and finally breaking through when Minten scored a clear path goal.
