Bruins Blank Kraken, Extend Winning Streak
Boston's Dominance Continues
The Boston Bruins continued their impressive start to the 2023-24 season with a resounding 4-0 shutout victory over the Seattle Kraken on Tuesday night at TD Garden.
The Bruins' defense was impeccable, limiting the Kraken to just 15 shots on goal. Goaltender Linus Ullmark made 15 saves to earn his second shutout of the season.
"Our commitment to defense was outstanding tonight," said Bruins head coach Jim Montgomery. "We were disciplined in our zone and didn't give Seattle any easy chances."
Offense Clicks Again
While the defense was stifling the Kraken, the Bruins' offense was firing on all cylinders. David Pastrnak led the way with a goal and an assist, while Brad Marchand and Patrice Bergeron each added a goal.
"We're getting contributions from all over the lineup," said Pastrnak. "It's a good feeling when everyone is clicking."
Winning Streak Extends to Six
The victory extended the Bruins' winning streak to six games, their longest such streak since the 2018-19 season. They now sit atop the NHL standings with a record of 10-2-0.
"We're not taking anything for granted," said Bergeron. "We know we need to keep working hard and playing together as a team."
Kraken Disappointed
The Kraken, who entered the game looking to snap their two-game losing streak, were understandably disappointed with their performance.
"We didn't give ourselves a chance tonight," said Kraken captain Mark Giordano. "Boston played a great game, and we just couldn't match their intensity."
Up Next
The Bruins will return to action on Thursday when they host the Pittsburgh Penguins. The Kraken will try to rebound when they visit the Columbus Blue Jackets on Friday.
