Charlie McAvoy and David Pastrnak also scored to help the Bruins open a 5-2 lead. Brendan Gallagher scored twice for Montreal, the second with four minutes left to make it a one-goal game.

Bruins: After losing their opener in Florida with Joonas Korpisalo in net, a game they trailed 5-1 in the second period, Boston looked more at home with Swayman. The goalie remained unsigned this summer and missed all of training camp before agreeing to an eight-year, $66 million deal on Sunday.Montreal scored twice in the third period, cutting a three-goal deficit to 5-4 on Gallagher's goal with four minutes left.
