Poitras and Frederic Help Undefeated Boston Bruins Blank Chicago Blackhawks 3-0

Impressive Victory for the Boston Bruins

The Boston Bruins continued their dominating start to the NHL season with a convincing 3-0 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks on Tuesday night. Matthew Poitras and Trent Frederic were instrumental in securing the win, scoring just 56 seconds apart in the third period. The win not only extended the Bruins’ winning streak to six games but also matched the best start in franchise history.

A Heavy and Grinding Team

Bruins coach Jim Montgomery expressed his satisfaction with the team’s performance, stating, “Starting to see our team identity build because I think the LA game and this game tonight, you’re starting to see us become a heavy, grinding team, which I think is what we’re going to have to be.” This emphasis on physical play and hard work has clearly paid off for the Bruins, who have been able to overwhelm their opponents on both ends of the ice.

Poitras Shines as Rookie Sensation

The standout performance of the night came from 19-year-old rookie Matthew Poitras. After scoring his first two NHL goals in a win against Anaheim on Sunday, Poitras continued to impress with a goal against the Blackhawks. Skating past veteran forward Corey Perry, Poitras found the back of the net with a powerful shot on the glove side of goaltender Petr Mrazek. Poitras’ speed and scoring ability have made him a valuable asset for the Bruins.

Frederic’s Contribution

Trent Frederic, another young forward for the Bruins, also made a significant impact on the game. He scored the third and final goal of the night off a slick pass from James van Riemsdyk. This goal marked Frederic’s second of the season and showcased his ability to finish plays and contribute to the team’s offensive success.

Goaltender Jeremy Swayman’s Shutout Performance

Goalie Jeremy Swayman had a standout performance, making 23 saves to earn his 10th career shutout. Swayman’s solid performance between the pipes further solidified the Bruins’ dominance in the game. His impressive saves and ability to keep the Blackhawks off the scoreboard were crucial in securing the team’s victory.

Looking Forward

The Boston Bruins’ perfect start to the season is a testament to their strong team play, physicality, and goaltending prowess. As they enter a four-game homestand, the team will aim to maintain their winning streak and continue their impressive start. The upcoming matchups against the Anaheim Ducks and other opponents will be important tests for the Bruins as they look to establish themselves as one of the top contenders in the NHL.
