Locked On Bruins - Daily Podcast On The Boston Bruins

Jeremy Swayman made his season debut and the new-look 4th line is clicking.

Locked on Boston Bruins host Ian McLaren breaks down the storyline, stats, and signals from a 6-4 win over the Montreal Canadiens on Thursday.

Storylines include Swayman's appreciation of Bruins fans, offensive outbursts from Cole Koepke and Mark Kastelic, and some lingering defensive issues that made the game closer than it should have been.

As for stats, here's one: newcomer Elias Lindholm leads the team with 4 points in 2 games.

The Bruins dominated periods 1 and 2, but Montreal was all over them in the 3rd. That's not something that can keep happening against upcoming opponents like Los Angeles, Florida, Colorado, Utah, and Nashville.
