The Boston Bruins capped their regular season in style, shutting out the New Jersey Devils 4-0 on Fan Appreciation Night. It was a fitting finale, as goaltender Jeremy Swayman backstopped the win with a brilliant performance, cementing a remarkable bounce-back season. The offense came alive early, netting all four goals in a dominant first period.

Forward Morgan Geekie continued his hot streak, finishing the campaign with five goals in his last four games for a career-high 39 points—a testament to his resilience after battling through a couple of slumps. Mark Kastelic also found his rhythm at the perfect time, adding depth scoring as the team builds momentum.

With the victory, the Bruins officially hit the 100-point mark for the season, a milestone matched by superstar David Pastrnak. However, the night belonged to the team's unsung heroes, as Jeremy Swayman was honored with the prestigious NESN 7th Player Award, given annually to the Bruin who exceeds expectations.
