The Bruins tied an NHL record with 11th straight home victories to start the season, matching a mark set by the Florida panthers last season and also by the Chicago Hawks in 1963. Boston is the first NHL team to win 16 of its first 18 games in 86 years. Jeremy Swayman stopped 17 of 18 shots in the victory. The goal was the 960th point in his career.

It's a group of people. I think we have a lot of depth. Everyone is contributing, valued, and confident. I think that is the most important thing.
Boston became the first team in the league to top 30 points with four goals from Charlie McAvoy.
Jonathan Toews scored Chicago's lone goal in a power play. The six goals that Mrazek allowed were on 43 shots.
After playing two games on the road this week, Boston will return home to host Carolina on Black Friday.
Boston jumped to a 2-0 lead early in the second period, matching its season high for goals in a game, as a fired-up Garden crowd chanted "Let's go Bruins."
Bruins coach Jim Montgomery said that his players are having a great time. Everyone has been sticking up for each other since day one.
Playing his first game since leaving with a left knee injury, Swayman was sharp despite the puck being mostly in the Chicago's zone.
Swayman said it was "unbelievable" that it took two weeks to get back on the ice. I'm happy to be back after this win at home.
The Bruins have a perfect record against Western Conference opponents.
