BOSTON-- Center Patrice Bergeron scored with 1:15 remaining in his season debut and linemate Brad Marchand also scored when the Boston Bruins came from behind to defeat the New Jersey Devils 2-1 at TD Garden on Thursday.
Bergeron missed the first three games of the regular season with a lower-body injury.
"You want to start on a good note, and especially at home, we talked about our home record the last few years. We want to do the job especially here early in the first game. It's one step but we're happy with it," Bergeron said.
