The Boston Bruins struck first Wednesday night against the Anaheim Ducks.
After the Bruins won a faceoff in their offensive zone, David Backes had the puck near the goal line. Backes slid the puck to defenseman Brandon Carlo up top, and Carlo launched a slap shot past Ducks netminder Jonathan Bernier to give the Bruins an early 1-0 lead.
