With a new coach and a new system, the Boston Bruins have had their share of ups and downs over the opening weeks of the season.

Goaltender Simon Zajicek notched his third professional victory, stopping 23 of 24 shots in a 4-1 victory over Bridgeport on Sunday. The Frydlant, Czechia, native boasts a 1.66 goals against average and a .939 save percentage, allowing just five goals in his first three starts in North American professional hockey.

The Boston Bruins allowed seven goals at home in a loss to the Anaheim Ducks, as a difficult stretch continues.
