MacKinnon scores 2 targets, Avalanche prime Bruins

John Beecher scored for the Bruins (3-3-0), who’ve misplaced three straight after profitable their first three video games of the season. Jeremy Swayman made 34 saves.

“Our top guys were not the top guys again, and if you look at Colorado and our team, well that’s the difference,” Boston coach Marco Sturm stated. “It does not matter which crew you’re, your finest gamers received to be the most effective gamers, and that was the most important disappointment tonight.

“’Til probably the first goal against, we did exactly what we wanted, even the first period. Second period, we just took too many penalties, but I just said it, we were in the game. It’s a 2-1 hockey game. We know they’re going to be better than us, but it’s a 2-1 hockey game, and so that was the frustrating part.”

Beecher made it 1-0 Boston when he fired Charlie McAvoy’s crossing cross into the open web from the far aspect of the crease at 3:11 of the primary interval. Beecher, who was skating in his first sport of the season, was large open when McAvoy faked a shot on the prime of the fitting circle and slapped the cross over.

“When you got a guy as skilled as ‘CMac,’ you got to be ready for the puck at all times,” Beecher stated. “I saw him, and I saw the lane, so I figured it’d be coming my way, and just gripped my stick as hard as I could. He made a great play. So that’s all him. I was just standing there.”
