Bruins forward David Pastrnak did not make a substitution in the third period but remained on the bench, which Montgomery called a “coach's decision” before declining to comment further.

Joey Daccord made 31 saves for Seattle (5-7-1), which has lost three straight and six of its last seven (1-5-1), including a 3-0 loss to the Ottawa Senators on Saturday.

“(The Bruins) are always a fast-starting team at home, and yes, they capitalized on their opportunities early in the game,” said Daccord, a Boston native. “We just have to stay positive. It's early in the year. We’ll find our game here before you know it.”

Brazeau gave the Bruins a 1-0 lead at 3:23 of the first period by redirecting Nikita Zadorov's point shot.

“It's just really special to see our team come together and not take 'no' for an answer like we did early on,” Swayman said. “I think it set the tone for the whole game.”

Coyle made it 2-0 with a power play goal at 9:57 of the first period. After the Bruins prevented several Kraken clearing attempts, the puck was worked to Brad Marchand below the right circle. The Boston captain played a crossing pass to Coyle, who rounded Daccord from the left post.

“I was just trying to hang in there and then your instincts just take over,” Coyle said. “Certain ways you've scored before or something you see or happen to do and you make the right move. “But it was a great performance from (Marchand), the movement of the (power play).”
