The Boston Bruins capped off their regular season in style, hitting a major milestone and sending a clear message as the playoffs loom. On Tuesday night, they skated to a commanding 4-0 victory over the New Jersey Devils, a win that pushed the team's total to an impressive 100 points in the standings.
Goaltender Jeremy Swayman was the undisputed star of the show, turning away all 21 shots he faced to secure his second shutout of the season. His performance was a fitting end to a remarkable bounce-back campaign, where he set career highs and finished second in the league with 28.8 goals saved above expected. After the game, Swayman credited his success to a renewed mental and physical focus, a testament to his resilience and growth.
The Bruins' offense wasted no time, erupting for four goals in a dominant first period. Morgan Geekie set the tone just 53 seconds into the game, with the eventual game-winner. Viktor Arvidsson and Mark Kastelic kept the pressure on, with Kastelic netting two goals to finish the regular season on a hot streak of three goals in two games.
While the team celebrated its 100-point achievement, David Pastrnak quietly reached a personal century mark of his own. His assist on Geekie's opening goal gave him 100 points for the fourth consecutive season, a remarkable feat of consistency and elite playmaking that cements his status as one of the NHL's premier forwards.
With key players returning to the lineup and momentum firmly on their side, the Bruins head into the postseason looking sharp, confident, and ready for the intense battles ahead.
