Brad Marchand's empty-netter with 2:34
remaining added insurance for Boston, which is 5-0-0 this season
after completing a sweep of its three-game California swing.
Linus Ullmark posted 12 of his 30 saves in the third period to
earn the win.
Anaheim suffered its third straight loss despite McTavish
logging his 50th career point with the goal, while John Gibson
stopped 23 shots.
The teams combined to go 0-for-8 on the power play and log 33
hits. Boston had five of the man-up opportunities.
McTavish broke the scoreless tie with a two-on-one transition
finish, burying a rebound of Ryan Strome's shot that Ullmark
kicked out to the net front.
Poitras knotted the score at 1-1 just 1:24 later, slotting home
Morgan Geekie's slick backhand feed through traffic as Poitras
ran down the slot to the top of the crease.
Poitras gave Boston its first lead at 10:20 of the final frame,
following a rebound of Jake DeBrusk's shot after Charlie McAvoy
kept it in at the point.
Though neither side converted in the first, the Bruins had a
golden chance only 1:10 in as DeBrusk struck the left post on a
short-handed breakaway.
Anaheim recorded only one shot on goal over the final eight
minutes of the opening frame while holding Boston to one of its
own more than halfway through the scoreless second.
Gibson made a point-blank stop on Kevin Shattenkirk after
Poitras sent a feed from behind the net with 5:20 left in the
second.
