BOSTON – After knocking off the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday, the Bruins dominated the Seattle Kraken in their first back-to-back game of the season.

Boston scored two goals in the first period at TD Garden and defeated Seattle 2-0 to improve to 6-6-1 on the season.

The Bruins checked off three boxes in this game that head coach Jim Montgomery has been preaching since the beginning of the season.

Started on time – check.

Execution – control.

Effort – check.

The Black and Gold wasted no time getting on the board as Justin Brazeau redirected Nikita Zadorov’s shot from the point at 3:23 of the first period to give Boston an early 1-0 lead.

Six minutes later the Bruins got a boost on the power play with an absolutely beautiful patient finish from Charlie Coyle for his second of the season.

The Bruins dominated puck possession and held the Kraken to just three shots in the first period, all of which came within four minutes of the opening frame.

Boston thought they had taken a 3-0 lead in the first inning when Pavel Zacha put the puck in the net behind Seattle goalie Joey Daccord, but the Kraken contested the play for offside.

After the review, the officials deemed that Zacha had preceded the puck into the zone and the on-ice call was overturned to keep the game at 2-0.

Here’s the official explanation according to the NHL:

Video review determined that Boston’s Pavel Zacha led the puck into the attacking zone and was in an offside position prior to his goal. According to Rule 38.9, “The standard for overturning the decision in the event of an on-ice “GOAL” call is that the NHL Situation Room, after reviewing all available replays and consulting with the On-Ice Official(s), determines that one or more players of the attacking team advanced the puck into the attacking zone before the goal was scored and that, as a result, play should have been stopped for an “offside” violation; if this standard is met, the target is disallowed.”

The Bruins will look to extend their win streak to three games when they head north of the border to Toronto in an Original Six matchup with the Leafs on Tuesday night. Puck drop from Scotiabank Arena is scheduled for 7:00 PM ET. You can watch the game, plus an hour of pre-game coverage on NESN.
