TD Garden Electric As Bruins-Islanders Mark Return To Near-Full Capacity

It's good to have fans back in TD Garden

The Boston Bruins got a small sense of normalcy Saturday, as fans packed TD Garden for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic changed the sports landscape.

It featured a number of awesome moments, including everything from the pregame, to Boston’s banner captain, to celebrations following a David Pastrnak first-period goal.

Here are some of the best sights and sounds from the early part of Game 1:

It also was pretty awesome to see AJ Quetta, a Bishop Feehan High School hockey player who was injured earlier this season and supported by the Bruins, as the Game 1 Banner Captain.

And then there were the celebrations, both courtesy of Pastrnak:

The Bruins ultimately beat the Islanders 5-2.
