Jeremy Swayman showcased his skills with his first shutout of the season, making 23 saves against the Kraken while the Bruins dominated the ice. His performance was instrumental in securing a solid 2-0 victory that highlighted both the offensive capabilities of the team, evident through early goals from Brazeau and Coyle, as well as the defensive prowess demonstrated by Swayman. This shutout not only boosts Swayman's confidence but also reinforces the Bruins' strong defensive strategies.
The Bruins achieved a commanding presence in the early stages of the game with a remarkable 15-3 advantage in shots during the first period. Justin Brazeau's quick tip-in goal set the tone for the match, and Charlie Coyle's follow-up ensured a comfortable lead. The combination of significant shooting volume and strategic power-play opportunities allowed Boston to control the game's tempo against a struggling Kraken team, which has faced consecutive defeats and a lack of scoring.
With two shutout losses in a row, including a dim match against Ottawa, the Kraken have struggled mightily, losing six of their last seven games. Their offensive challenges were evident as they could not find the back of the net against the Bruins, resulting in a scoreless outcome. Goaltender Joey Daccord made an admirable effort with 31 saves, but without sustained offensive support, the Kraken continued to flounder on their road trip.
