"The Bruins' netminder was sharp once again on Wednesday night at UBS Arena, stopping 44 of 45 shots en route to a 3-1 win over the Islanders. Behind the play of Swayman and a two-goal night from Alex Steeves, Boston (14-11-0) closed out a four-game trek that stretched from coast-to-coast with a 2-2-0 record. The Islanders (13-9-2) peppered Swayman throughout, leaving the frozen sheet with a 45-14 advantage in shots on goal."
"Boston once again ran into some penalty woes with four separate minor infractions. But the Bruins' PK unit shifted momentum back on Boston's side - negating all four Islanders power plays and adding a shorthanded strike from Steeves in the third. A costly neutral-zone turnover by Bruins winger Matej Blumel allowed New York to land the first punch. Shortly after Blumel's miscue, Islanders center Mathew Barzal put his slick mitts to good use - dangling past Pavel Zacha near the crease"
Jeremy Swayman delivered a 44-save performance to backstop Boston to a 3-1 victory over the Islanders. Alex Steeves scored twice, including a shorthanded goal, and Tanner Jeannot added a goal to provide offense from the bottom-six. The Bruins closed a four-game, coast-to-coast road trip with a 2-2-0 record. New York out-shot Boston 45-14, but Boston's penalty kill negated all four Islander power plays. A neutral-zone turnover by Matej Blumel led to an early Barzal goal, and Blumel exited injured after 2:02 of ice time. Boston earned breathing room with Steeves' second goal in the third.
