    Boston — Jeremy Swayman had 23 saves and his first shutout of the season, and the Boston Bruins beat the Seattle Kraken 2-0 on Sunday night.

    Justin Brazeau scored a tip-in 3:23 into the game off a pass from Nikita Zadorov, and Charlie Coyle scored less than seven minutes later, beating Kraken goaltender Joey Daccord for an uncontested shot in the crease.

    Charlie McAvoy got the secondary assist on Brazeau's goal, while Brad Marchand and Elias Lindholm assisted Coyle.

    Daccord had 31 saves in the loss.
