BRUINS UP BY TWO
The Bruins struck first when Brad Marchand dangled the puck behind the Rangers net before feeding it over to Bergeron who finished off the sequence with a one-timer.

McAvoy doubled the lead to 2-0 with a power-play goal. McAvoy finished with a slap shot on yet another assist for Marchand before the period came to a close.

The Bruins outshot the Rangers 9-4 at the end of the first period.

ANOTHER ONE FOR BOSTON
DeBrusk took his frustrations out on the net as he scored his fifth of the season to make it a 3-0 game after David Krejci found him wide open.

Swayman remained strong between the pipes and kept the Rangers off the board after two periods of play.

The Bruins held a whopping 28-7 shot advantage, meaning New York took just three shots on goal during the middle period.

BRUINS SEAL IT
Carlo added to the goal total just 1:07 into the third with a snipe off a faceoff win to make it a 4-0 game.

That’s all the Bruins would need to skate away with the W.
